Game Impress: Iwata hampering online accessibility?
OK, just read on this IGNDS story about Square "praising" (yawn) Iwata's online plans that:
Quote:
<snip> One area that Wada seems to be impressed with is a particularly controversial side of Nintendo's Online plan. In his comments posted at Impress Game Watch yesterday, Iwata states that Nintendo is going through with the idea of letting players connect only to players whom they've met in real life.

Craig also adds, that it's "reported" Animal Crossing will allow players to connect to people they have never met. We can only hope. :rolleyes: Let's hope this is just a mistranslation or stupid musing of Iwata's that never comes to fruition. But ya never know, gotta protect the Pokemon babies and their parents from getting offended by strangers.
