lol. Actually announcing COD for Wii U would probably help.

Nailed it. Reggie's comment to IGN about third parties being attracted to Wii U "when there's an install base" all but confirms third party support will be mediocre at best and they're probably not even seriously trying to bring them on. Oh well, good thing I don't like CoD. :/
And Moffitt is terrible. He's supposed to be a VP of sales yet he could barely get through his 3DS segment at E3 and doesn't even know if certain games are running at 720 or 1080p? And remember when he said "Where's the love?" Worst and lamest line a person could possibly use to intro themselves at E3 and signaled that the conference was already in its death throes.
He did confirm Virtual Console content transferring though, I'll give him that for now.

Yes, WOW, indeed, at the thread title. After reading the interview original source the actual statement made was nowhere near that grandiose.

Where has Reggie/Iwata said that friend codes will not be required the first time you want to add someone?
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Dude says some people might actually like the platform they're about to launch, even for multiplatform games? Omg! Outrageous! He should have clearly said something like, NOWAY, COD rules on 360 and everyone should play on that! Only then could anyone possibly consider what he says borderline decent. Clearly he's just a tool, mouthing off pro-Nintendo things like that!
Edit: seems posters below this found the quotes. Great. Not great enough for USC-fan who magically skips the important lines.
And how did this of all threads turn into the same circle jerk of a touch/screen being useless for games? Newsflash, DS happened several years ago. It was quite popular and has shown all sorts of uses for an extra touchscreen alongside the buttons and main screen. WiiU is kinda like that, but bigger, and without lacking any of the expected traditional home console inputs.
It actually has been said you won't have to input the friend codes to add people. If you can also do that alongside other methods remains to be seen. Sorry, no link, I don't care to favorite every piece of information I read on GAF for instances like this where people who don't know anything still want to bash everything for whatever reason. Google it, maybe.

According to Iwata, Wii Us Miiverse will instead simplify the process of making friends with another user in the platform by eliminating the need to input Friend Codes.

The poster talked of exchanging friend codes. Implying the same system of mutual-adding exists on Wii-U.
It is unreasonable to say so given Nintendo have said the system is not the existing friend code system, acknowledged specific complaints about that system, and insisted that people will be happy with the new one:
http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/39204/wii-u-friend-codes-system-will-make-fans-happier-reggie/ said:
If friend IDs still exist, it will only be - so that Miis / names / profile data can be changed. We'll see the particulars soon enough, before launch. The poster was definitely wrong to imply the friending system is the same, it definitely won't be.
edit:
this was an even better quote:
Way to post a partial quote. Not that I expect better from a troll.

Cut him some slack, he probably did try to type it but it was gone alongside all those other missing letters...
...Nah.
Why look at the large TV screen where all the action is happening when you can look down at the Heads Down Display on your controller?
Reggie is a troll?
"Reggie Fils-Aime, who says ”there are friend codes, but it’s not the existing friend code system”."
Man you need to take a break.
The question was "Where has Reggie/Iwata said that friend codes will not be required the first time you want to add someone?" Friend codes are in the system. I directly quoted reggie....
You posted two quotes.
One from Iwata one from Reggie.
One of those was a partial quote to fit your agenda.
So nope, don't think I need to take a break.
Moneyhatting people to play the Wii U version?
LOL really.. I didnt post any quote of Iwata that a paste from ign.
trolling lol take a break dude. you are in attack mode. Please tell me all about this new system because my quotes were trolling. Please tell us all about your inside information about the new friend code system.

wait, are you really arguing that having two screens right next to each other is the same thing as having two screens that you have to completely remove your focus from one to use the other? Unless you're holding your arms out straight so you can see the gamepad and tv at the same time
from everything that's been said it seems like people don't know what to do with the screen, same as in the early years of the DS. "I know, we'll put a map on it!" That's not exciting anymore. And it certainly doesn't work in such a fast paced game as CoD. They'll have to come up with some serious proof of concepts for people to be convinced imo

Right, but here's the thing, nobody who has reading comprehension skills CARES that you QUOTED REGGIE because Mr. Satoru Iwata (who is Reggie's boss) clearly said they're simplifying the system "by eliminating the need to input Friend Codes. So, according to the president of Nintendo Co Ltd of Japan, it is no longer necessary to input friend codes. What Reggie said doesn't matter. What Iwata said DOES matter because he has actual control of the company and said users will no longer have to enter friend codes. Is that clear now?

No, you just quoted me and I said kind of the same + some more things, not just the same. No, not every game that had used the DS touch screen required them to be viewed at the same time and all the time. Maybe you can't have gameplay that did that on the WiiU but on top of that you can have games you couldn't have on DS thanks to all the extra inputs and the fact it's detached from the main screen and motion enabled as well.
I think they've shown plenty proofs of concept. Feel free to disagree though. No, I'm not actually compelled by any of the launch window software (unless ZombiU ends up great, but I doubt it), but the ideas could make certain titles great, from simple PC style menus, maps, inventories, text chats, and so on, to bigger things like actual touch control, drawing, limitless hotkeys, motion based viewing (I'd love an Endless Ocean sequel like that), or whatever else. Maybe in some cases you'll need to divert your attention, but it beats the alternative of clumsy analog controlled cursors or whatever else. And yes, you could have the games changed without any of these features, but that doesn't mean the features that can be had with WiiU's setup aren't worthy. I don't think pushing numbers on an actual interactive touch keypad is just as good when using a stick to highlight and A to confirm a selection as one small example. You don't have to care or like any of it, but to say there are no uses for all these new (and many old, PC point & click style) opportunities compared to the almighty standard dual analog which is also included within? That's just ridiculous. Imo

This is never going to happen. The Call of Duty crowd is the kind who would point out the Wii U to their friends in a store while they all laugh.
Clear as mud but at least you didnt call me a troll for not understanding this...

I think one of the reasons why the DS was so easily adapted to is because you didn't really have to adjust your focus, since the screens are right there. You're kinda looking in the same direction anyway. I think when you look down, then back up, then down again with the Wii U it's going to be a lot more difficult to get used to. Also if there's anything going on in the game and you'll have to focus on an inventory or menu or something on the gamepad for a while, you'll need to pause anyway. So what's the point of splitting it up?No, you just quoted me and I said kind of the same + some more things, not just the same. No, not every game that had used the DS touch screen required them to be viewed at the same time and all the time.

And I don't think there isn't any potential to this, but I haven't seen anything that really sold it for me yet. Maybe someone will come up with something innovative, but right now it just seems like Nintendo looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Since when did people stop having peripheral vision?
Does everybody look at their tachometer and immediately crash their car?
Does everybody look at their tachometer and immediately crash their car?
I think people are going a bit out of control. If the game is an exact port of the 360/PS3/PC version with the same graphics, what is the big deal?
If you hate the gamepad, wouldn't it be nice having the option to use the Classic Controller, the CC pro, the new WiiU pro, or wiimote + nunchuck?
The only argument that stands is that all of your friends are one XBL/PSN, and that's totally subjective.

Your tachometer isn't in your lap though, and I don't know anyone who plays games with their arms fully extended

This was my understanding.
My point being Gamertags are much less cumbersome, much easier to remember and personal than a nonsensical string of numbers.
And to be clear, not fanboying, I plan to buy a WiiU.
