In a report by Game Informer, the Nintendo Wii U may not be using friend codes on their next-gen console.
Ubisoft director Adrian Blunt stated during a demo of Ghost Recon Online that the Wii U won’t have friend codes but rather the publisher is employing their own user account system to be used with the game. “Rather than using friend codes, which we’ve had in the past, we’re able to connect players in a much easier way, which allows us to have a community that’s playing together in the game.” However, it could just mean that Ubisoft is integrating a system similar to UPlay rather than Nintendo directly stating that they will be ditching friend codes.
