Let's trade 3DS, DSi, and Wii friend codes!

Let's trade Nintendo 3DS friend codes!

I just got a 3DS XL so let's trade friend codes! We can trade DSi and Wii friend codes too. Sadly, since Wii codes are 16 digits and 3DS codes are 12, I don't think they are cross-compatible. If I add you, you won't get a notification until you add me back (I don't think) so you might have to mention by name, or else PM, anyone you add. I'm currently playing Nintendogs + cats, New Super Mario Bros 2, Cooking Mama 4, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, and can't wait for Scribblenauts Unlimited and Animal Crossing: Jump Out! 3DS Friend Code 3609-2322-3094

Yes, let's! Mine is 3480-3868-2820.

The only game I have so far is Kingdom Hearts DDD. So far it seems to be a misuse of my hard-earned dollars. But I look forward to future greatness!

I unfortunately do not have a 3DS, but this:

What the fuck, Nintendo?

Security for allowing kiddies on the interwebs, I'd guess.

Some Metafilter users have previously chosen to share their in-game IDs for various platforms on the MetaFilter wiki: Gamer IDs.

Yeah, it's an extra speedbump between predators and children. Pretty smart, imo.

Thanks RichardP, but there are no 3DS codes on that page, sadly.

Have added indigo rain, yeoz and jingo.

If anyone wants to add me, my 3DS friend code is 0817-3766-9696.

Currently playing a lot of NSMB2 but if anyone wants to play some Mario Kart 7, I'm totally up for it.

Effigy, it says that friend code isn't valid! :( I have IndigoRain and yeoz added, though.

By: Effigy2000

Effigy2000 — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 13:37:59 -0800

Sorry! Typo! My friend code is actually 0817-3765-9696.

By: IndigoRain

IndigoRain — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:22:17 -0800

Added you Effigy!

Mine is 4554-1265-2771.

Right now I am ridiculously addicted to Pushmo and fond of sending drawings of deformed goldfish with Swapnote.

Effigy2000 — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:32:39 -0800

Have added cmyk too, now. We'll almost have enough for a MeFi Mario Kart 7 league soon.

Got Effigy and cmyk! Looking forward to the goldfish.

Added y'all who added me and sent along a fishy.

I am confused by the adding people who have not yet added me, so I am not going to attempt that. The last 'current' game device I owned was a Genesis. I'm a bit perplexed.

I've added you too cmyk.

By: IndigoRain

IndigoRain — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 21:32:04 -0800

If you add someone and they haven't added you back, it's no big deal, you just have to enter a temporary name for them, then when they add you they'll pop up with whatever their chosen name is.

There's actually already a MeFi MK7 league. I've just never managed to catch anyone online!

My friend code is 5241-1971-2717 and I have Nintendogs, Mario Kart 7, just downloaded Pushmo and will get Animal Crossing as soon as I can get my hands on it here in Europe. Added all of you!

Thanks RichardP, but there are no 3DS codes on that page, sadly.

You can go ahead & add a subheading to list them then. If you're unsure about the mark up just look at the other entries and copy those and tinker until it looks right. That's all I did. Back when I was adding my Wii codes I think I went a bit nuts and alphabetised everyone, but that's all gone to pot now.

Thanks for the link Skybly, it's too bad I'm not particularly interested in Mario Kart! I cannot WAIT for the new Animal Crossing! Wild World was so much fun!
