And it was confirmed by Katsuya Eguchi or whatever his name is three to four months ago, when he first started talking about AC Wii. No surprises here, but I'm sure Nintendo will improve on the system... Friend Codes have potential, but what Nintendo did with games like MKDS and AC:WW was horrible... Too restricted.
That's okay, but I'm still confuzzled by "you can leave your ACW on" why would you do that, if people can wreck your town with you watching and you can't stop them, what will they do when you're asleep? Also, hopefully it doesn't make noises or loading noises...
