Supposedly they're working on different online for WiiU or something

It won't be any better. It'll still use GameSpy, and you'll still need a friend code for Nintendo games. The only difference is that you'll have a bunch of online accounts; one for each publisher.

No, Ubisoft confirmed it. It might mean that they've learned their lesson, or it might mean that each publisher uses their own service. Based on 3DS and some comments from Reggie, the latter seems more likely, which is why I specifically said "for Nintendo games." I highly doubt that things will change. It'll probably just be a minor evolution of the 3DS.

There's still hope, but honestly I think that they would have killed FCs with 3DS if they were done with them. Instead, they killed messaging. :/

The whole point of FCs is to pseudo-child-lock the friending system on a console. Maybe there are FCs on 3DS but none on Wii U because they expect 3DS to be more kid-friendly and Wii U to be more hardcore?
