FRIEND CODES NEED TO DIE

[will.]

I'm absolutely THRILLED for Pocket Camp. And then I saw the friend code option. Can't we just have a simple friend network Nintendo?? PLEASE?!!?!

To change them would only make them join us in 2017, not 2005.

I can't even remember my birthday, but I can definitely piece together usernames!!!!!!

I kinda hope they will do that thing where you can easily access friends via contacts. If not then I'm not gonna complain.

I don't think friend codes themselves are a bad idea. What matters the most here is how they're implemented.

The Friend Code situation on mobile devices is handled like the original DS and Wii did, which is rather clunky.
First, one 12-digit code per game, as opposed to one per account/system. And second, both of you need to add each other in order for the friend code system to work, whereas Nintendo Switch sends you a friend confirmation whenever someone adds your Friend Code.

If Super Mario Run's implementation of Friends meant anything, then Pocket Camp would also allow adding friends from your Facebook and Twitter account. Therefore, you're not completely forced to resort Friend Codes.

I don't mind friend codes. Never understood why people get so irritated by them.

I don't see why we can't just add people by usernames, we already have nintendo accounts that use usernames.
