According to the latest edition of Japanese gaming bible Famitsu Super Street Fighter IV 3D edition will feature friend codes.
It’s not apparent yet whether these friend codes are game specific or universal but undoubtedly we will be given more information on this matter during the 3DS press event on the 19th.

wow this is kinda amazing. would be good if you can have live chat on there as well though like some sort of IM that supports all networks
really? ..really? they still want to use friend codes?? Not a big fan
They promised to improve the online experience….so I guess they won’t be mandatory…only to register people.
Friend codes didn’t work, but I’m sure they can when done right.
LOL, every since the Nintendo World event the 3DS news just seems to be getting worse… I’m starting to believe those £250 price rumours.
not good…
Nooooooooooo!! No moar friend codes!!
I really hope we’ll have to add just one friend code per Mii and that every game will just share that.
Hopefully the 3DS’s pass-by mode will cause friend codes to become invisible to the user.
Wow, what an improvement.
Let the swearing and frustration ensue if it is not done right; otherwise, WAY TO GO NINTENDO!
The more tedious something is, the less it gets used. That’s a universal fact. No, I don’t want to enter 10 friend codes for every game even though “the game and console were treated as one” in the 7th generation.

Goddamn it…
FCs are a pain. You have to go online to fetch them unless you’re around someone who has them immediately…then retrieving them is also a pain. I mean on the Wii, at least you can go to the browser–but you still have to find a forum or something where others have theirs posted.
…games like Monster Hunter Tri showed they’re not needed at all.
my 3ds fc is 3652-0552-5872
