Each game device registers identification information of a partner, which is obtained via short-range wireless communication or by a manual input, in a friend list. Then, the game device connects to the Internet to inquire, for example, with a server about a possibility of network communication with the partner in the friend list. When it is determined that the network communication is possible, the game device acquires an address of the partner and performs network communication. When the game device is connected by another game device during communication with a partner device, the game device transmits the identification information of the other game device to the partner device and the identification information of the partner device to the other game device such that these communication partner devices are introduced to each other.
