Potential 3DS owners can rest easy now. Nintendo confirmed today that the handheld will feature one friend code. This is by far the most simple set up for friend codes for a Nintendo system ever. Both the DS and Wii required users to input separate codes for each game.
Nintendo does appear to be taking a more serious approach to online and the 3DS. The company revealed today that the system will feature different colors for the notification light. When the light turns orange, the system is indicating that a friend is online. Other colors include red (low battery) and green (StreetPass activity).
Nintendo announced the 3DS launch colors in North America just a few moments ago. Similar to what is being offered in Europe, two colors will be available: Aqua Blue and Cosmo Black. Stay tuned for more 3DS details as the rest of the day unfolds.
