Well, technically Nintendo is a kids company, typing that breaks my hand. The game cube was nothing like that, they did it with the wii because so many parents complained about there kids sending information out to complete strangers, so the whole internet thing stopped for the game cube and Nintendo made the new friend code system. If you want to share your friend codes out to random people you can do two things, Internet, or get the homebrew channel and wait for the home brew wii connect to work.
