News flash: High Voltage isn't a big fan of Nintendo's cumbersome Friend Codes system. The developer behind The Conduit recently replied to an email about the latest news that the game could support the system, stating that High Voltage feels "the same way" about Friend Codes and that if "there is any possible way for us to get around this system," they would. In fact, they even point to the system in Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 as "ideal," and if Nintendo allows them a similar exception as they allowed EA, they'd go for it.
Well, here's to hoping we don't have to put up with Friend Codes, but we honestly don't see why the game wouldn't. Nintendo isn't going to openly admit their system is broken, after all, and allowing High Voltage to incorporate their own system could be a slight admission of such.

They already did with MOH: Heroes 2, why not let The Conduit, would be a mayor seller point

MotionPlus support has been confirmed, i think.

How would MotionPlus add any benefit to the game? It's an FPS, therefore the controls primarily revolve around the pointer functionality - something MotionPlus will not affect.

Yet another example of why my Wii sits nearly abandoned unless company comes over while I continue to play games online almost daily via my PC or PS3. Maybe next gen...

It's not a question of an "exception" for MoH:H2, EA has the money to run separate servers, so they do. 3rd parties are free to not use Nintendo WFC, but at that point they're on their own. Nintendo WFC games, by the integral nature of the network, require friend codes
If Nintendo is the publisher, as is extremely likely (WiiSpeak and Motion Plus, nobody else is getting that), they will have them. But that simply means Friend Codes, Mario Kart Wii worked around them well enough, as did Metroid Prime Hunters, and i imagine that HVS is up to the task

I don't find friend codes troublesome at all. In fact I find them very easy to deal with.
Whether The Conduit uses friend codes matters not to me.
