Kind of old, but it still confuses me a lot... Why do this, again?

ChickeyCantor6197d ago

perhaps it was't supported that great?

dalibor6197d ago

Perhaps it was both to cut server costs & it wasn't supported enough.

dragunrising6197d ago (Edited 6197d ago )

Sadly, I think the answer is "all the above" :-( This is especially disappointing for me as I put off the game initially due to horrible lag and join times. I'm still interested in the online aspects of Brawl, however. Considering the game sold millions and millions of copies I think Nintendo is being more than cheap. Also, the game is only a little over a year old (right?).

Question: Why is there unanimous support for Nintendo bashing on n4g?

Answer: Nintendo doesn't care about the hardcore (and midcore) gamers anymore. They're only interested in capitalizing on uninformed and casual gamers.

There is so much bashing and flaming over xbox and ps3...we should forget about all that and fully direct our hatefilled comments on the wii. :-p

IdleLeeSiuLung6197d ago

I agree. In my mind Nintendo has been the far worst of the three console makers in supporting their long time fans. After only 15 months they want to cut online services already... I think that is a record!

The Wii is nothing but a black dot in gaming history, developers work their ass off on next gen games, only to see crappy games sell better on the last-gen Wii. What do you expect them to do? why put more time and money on the Wii of course! and us PS360 folks get the shaft.

Bubble up. The Wii is a dissapointment. I use mine almost exclusively for Virtua Console games. Not sure why people disagreed with you :-p They don't support their games (sans Mario Kart) and thats a fact. They never even patched Brawl...its still broken and your lucky to have anyone join your match. The only way I was able to connect was (somehow) joining a game with a friend. This process is further confounded by friend codes and lack "social connectivity." Thanks Nintendo.

blindfromthesun I was just playing brawl and betting on fights also. Fun stuff.

Right then, time to upload all 700 replays, all 300 screenshots and 30 custom stages. ;)

kesvalk6197d ago

no one used it -_-

they should make the game less laggy, then i shall think about playing it online...

Sorrow246197d ago

Because Nintendo Sucks. All I have is a Wii. and it sucks.

SinnedNogara6197d ago

Yeah, you may want to say that to someone who cares!!

Shnazzyone6197d ago

Kindof a shame but yeah.. smash bros online just didn't live up to the hype... maybe if it was anything like how well mario kart wii works then we might have been in business. Oh well.. maybe the next one will have some form of voice... in the meantime there are a million sites online to download stages from other then the dojo and screenshots are in jpg format so they can be uploaded to the web just as easily... it's just replays that will suffer.... but those were pointless anyway.

N4g_null6196d ago

Very true but this was actually a problem with the internet providers since they where throttling your service. Once you get around that it plays like they are in the same room.

It's really too bad they are doing this but with the sd card they should still make trading stuff possible.

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg35d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree35d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai35d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.

I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.

franwex472d ago

Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.

5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee

BlaqMagiq1472d ago

Yup Ultimate for me BY FAR is my favorite.
