The funny thing is I always turned voice chat off in Pokemon. I don't see a real need for voice chat during Smash. My taunts have the only messages I'd ever have: XD and wtf was that 
It's no communication between matches, and the stupidity of actually disabling the "Loser Picks Stage" that annoys me.

Same here. I always turn off the voice chat whenever I trade or battle with someone. And actually I'm not bothered of the exclusion of voice chat in Brawl. It's a fighting game not a strategic FPS; all you gonna hear is people screaming and shouting to each other. And giving order to your team partner is a give away of your fighting strategy.

I never use voice chat. It's absence doesn't bother me.
I just wish I could add people as rivals, Metroid Prime Hunters style.

I don't think I'd use voice chat much either- but it would be lovely to have some way of communicating especially post match so I can kindly let people know when I have to drop out and vice versa.

Did you play Clubhouse Games/42 All time Classics? Even the way they do communication is that would be superior than the current system.
Nintendo's online bugs me, but they have various features across various games that, if unified, could make it a lot better.

these posts kind of annoy me though (no offense to you firestorm). Nintendo has unquestionably been hitting the ball out of the fucking park on their franchise titles this gen. Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and now Smash. Even second tier efforts like Super Paper Mario, Battalion Wars 2 and Fire Emblem have been extremely well received. Overall this is probably Nintendo's strongest console generation software-wise as a publisher since the SNES era if you take Rare out of the N64 equation.. I think the only two franchises in their entire catalog that they haven't touched to critical and mass praise this gen are like Mother and Pikmin (and you just KNOW Pikmin's coming with pointer controls).Firestorm said:
The game deserves the sales, but let's not act like just because it's sold better than every other Wii game that no other Wii game has seen amazing sales. By current guesstimates Wii should have at least 10 million sellers in the US alone.. more when you take into account worldwide.
hmm.. your dates seemed screwy to me.. yup... fixed. Every month in the first half has at least one AAA massive system seller on it. Take your pick as to which one will move the most systems on their respective consoles.Nutter said:

Man, where were all these people when Prime 3 hit? Oh yeah, Nintendo did shit for marketing. Nevermind.

I don't know why, but I'm really not "feeling it" for Brawl.
I played SSB and loved it, I actually asked for a GameCube over a PS2 for Christmas in 2001 solely because of Melee, and one of the big reasons I got a Wii in the first place was because of Brawl. But now that the game is out I don't really have any desire to go out and spend $50 on it.
Maybe it's just that the internet has already spoiled most of the game for me.
Fuck you internet. :|

Nutter said:Wow...
March, April and June NPD's are going to be HUGE!
March has SSBB
April has GTA
May has (legs from the 2?)
June has WiiFit, Mario Kart, MGS4.
March: SSBB
April: Mario Kart + GTA IV + SSBB continued sales
May: Wii Fit + MGS4 + Mario Kart, GTA IV, SSBB continued sales
June: MGS4, Wii Fit, Mario Kart, GTA IV, SSBB continued sales
no, it's because you are crazyGuybrush Threepwood said:
seriously, it's obviously been so long that you forgot why you loved the series. buy it and you'll instantly remember. it is better than melee in every single way, even if only slightly in some areas. but even in those areas it's still just as fun as melee ever was.
Doh, thanks for correcting me on MGS4. Wow, so in the June NPD Nintendo could have four Wii titles in the top 10 (taking into account the constant presence of WiiPlay)AniHawk said:

Wii Fit will not be in the NPD top 10 for May or June. In fact, I'll bet a permaban that it won't.
(It's being classed as an accessory rather than a piece of software, so like the Wii Zapper it won't appear in the top 10 :lol)
Where do you see that at? The Wii Zapper is "Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training". WiiFit is WiiFit. Not "Balance Board with WiiFit".Stumpokapow said:
Overall quality on certain individual titles I would agree definitely. But overall quality of the titles from them as a publisher for the system, as well as quantity of such titles, I just don't see the N64 years as a shining era for Nintendo as a publisher outside of the obvious (SM64, Zelda OOT/MM, Mario Kart, Paper Mario and umm....). Of course they had Rare to significantly bolster that status, but that's why I said excluding Rare.Oblivion said:

But it's still just Melee with more stuff. FS, more items, characters and stages- it is more an expansion than a sequel in my mind. If you don't live with a bunch of guys (like I did back in the college days) then this game may not be worth your time.borghe said:no, it's because you are crazy

I think this ties Pokemon Gold & Silver's first week (also 1.4 million if I remember right). Smash Bros. might have a bigger first day, though.
Online. There is no reason anyone should be stuck playing this game solo, as opposed to the first one which you are entirely right on. Heck, that's one of the biggest reasons the first one didn't impact me as much as this one. I DIDN'T have a lot of people to play it with, as most of my friends at the time were hardcore Tekken and VF players who snubbed their noses at Melee.evilromero said:

Pretty shitty Wifi support.
get off dialupGenericPseudonym said:
sorry..
but seriously, judging from the main thread for the game, most seem to have little to no problem with lag.. not saying the problem IS because your connection is too slow, just that it's damn near impossible for a developer to take into condition every sort of network connection this game will be played over. Go onto any game and you'll see reports of bad lag, constant drops, etc. When a game has a significant number of reports of it, then it's a concern. but in Brawl's case, at least judging from the main thread, it does seem to be a minority of the connections.Stumpokapow said:
Sadly for you I believe you are going to lose that bet. WiiFit is being sold at GameStop as a GAME SKU not an Accessory...WiiFit is WiiFit w/balance board...not like the Zapper which is the Zapper w/ Link's Crossbow Training which is sold as an accessory...two very different things...you might want to take that bet back and fast.

As of last month, multiple retail sources were claiming accessory. I'm not sure if this is still the case or not.
Also, Wii-k in review 3/10/08. Normally I wouldn't give a lot of attention to IGN podcasts, but given that Matt either gets the full NPD sheet or has a good enough report with NPD to get some of the info he wants (given that he provided that ton of LTD updates end of last year), I'm assuming he's speaking authoritatively.

I think it was pretty obvious from the post that I was jesting, given the :lol smiley and the format of the post and the fact that there was no argument preceding my post. Sort of like when someone says "ban if old".
Have we been reading the same thread? It seems to me like most people have been having issues with lag.borghe said:get off dialup

Which makes zero sense, unless this is a new policy among all bundles. GH, DDR, Karaoke Revolution, Rock Band, Eye of Judgment, Wii Play, Time Crisis, etc...all are in the same boat as Wii Fit.
But yeah nobody cares about NPD classification outside of Sales-Age, though I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't mind that bit of recognition/press that comes with topping the NPD software charts.

people who have lag issues really need to check their modems and routers / router settings. most of my games are lag free (or so tiny i don't notice it). i've had laggy matches, but it's thanks to the same two users w/ terrible connections.
if you're w/ comcast, make sure you have a new modem. if you don't, just head over to the comcast center and make the swap. check broadbandreports.com and do the diagnostics tests and see if your connection is as good as it could be.
