zigg said:You clearly have not read many press releases announcing DS games that support "Wi-Fi". It's become reflex to me to immediately send a followup e-mail when I get one of those.
LegendofJoe said:Speak for yourself man, it would be a VERY big deal for people like me who love Smash Brothers.
Totalriot said:Don't confuse WiFi with wireless. WiFi always means internet connection.

play strikers, as there can definitely be battles with items and no lag.Tenbatsu said:Great! Now all we nid to do is to pray tat Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection can provide no lag battles! Alao, pls do away with the friend code, at least for this game only.
traveler said:I'm not saying that online Smash Bros. itself is not a big deal, I'm saying that Nintendo "announcing" it is not, given that they've promised it in the past. It's like them justifying the "hardcore" side of their conf. by saying we gave you Brawl and Galaxy release dates when both of those games were originally promised for launch window. (Another example would be shouting OMGZ megaton if Bungie had said online two-player coop following Gears.) Hey, I'll be as excited as everyone else when we know for sure; I just wish we wouldn't congratulate Nintendo like it's some huge deal when it should be expected at this point.
Strikers is not nearly as twitch as Smash.Jirotrom said:play strikers, as there can definitely be battles with items and no lag.
LegendofJoe said:The thing is though, I don't expect Brawl to have online. From any other publisher with a game as big as Brawl I wouldn't think twice about it, but with Nintendo it's different.
I mean seriously have they given you any real reason to believe it's in, other than vague promises made years ago? Nintendo's online implementation has been mediocre to poor at best. So I don't expect much from Brawl as far as online is concerned, and frankly I don't know why anyone else would.
AppleMIX said:Were people not expecting online play?
I find that hard to believe.
angelfly said:I'm pretty sure he meant in regards to Nintendo since with them it always means internet. And when they say wireless it's always local.

Bo130 said:Could you give me an example? I don't recall any game stating Wi-Fi without having online.
Nuclear Muffin said:Yeah this has been known about since the game was bloody announced BACK IN 2005!!!
Hitmeneer said:Wasn't this already known for a couple of months, the WiFi?
Vyse The Legend said:Nope. In fact, if anything, the scale has been tipping towards there being no online play at all, since Nintendo didn't mention it at their E3 conference during the online wifi portion (they went out of their way to say Mario Kart was online, among others).
We'll see. This is hardly confirmation of anything, though.
Furoba said:When they first announced (before anything was known) SSBB, they said "WiFi" though. ;p

We're cautiously pessimistic. I'll believe it when Sakurai shows it on the website.RiskyChris said:Why is this thread not exploding? Is no one else painfully inflicted with insomnia?

GreenNight said:They also said Wii would be able to hook up to computer monitors.
Jocchan said:What's the point of local wi-fi on a home console (and not a handheld) for a game who already allowed 4P multiplayer on a single machine in its previous iterations?
the year 20XX said:It doesn't ship with three other people in the box.
AceBandage said:You'd need three other people for LAN Wi-Fi, too...

Sakurai does what Nintendontcvxfreak said:I hope Nintendo places language options again!
