Just read that Nintendo is adding Voice Chat to Brawl. It will be available as an update sometime the first of May, and headsets will be $20.

Its probably an April Fools Joke, but if it is added how will it be supported? The WiFi connections are already having trouble providing a fast lag free game.

Some of us would rather go without a console for a month once every year rather than playing a silent online game with digit friend codes on a rebadged Gamecube while mommy Nintendo protects us from the online Smash predators.

Fixed.

Yet another Nintendo fanboy hopping on the 360-hating bandwagon who does not know jack shit about anything. I often wonder what your kind would peg on the 360 had it not been for hardware problems.

I resemble that remark. I know jack shit about loads of stuff.

Whoa, what is up with all the butthurt Nintenfags attacking the 360 out of nowhere? This thread is concerning the undeniably pathetic state of Nintendo's online services. No 360 bashing is necessary.

As a owner of all three systems, I would have to say it's disappointing how far behind the Wii is with online capability compared to the PS3 and 360. However, I haven't really had problems with the DS, excluding the frustrating friend codes and lack of a unified service. Still, I enjoy how voice chat is integrated into the DS.

Lol Nintenfags is a term of endearment, my friend. I use that to describe any who seem to love the Wii and defend it with zeal! Same with 360fags and Sonyfags.

Also, I don't know why you bolded the undeniably pathetic comment. It is completely true and has been mentioned countless times by many video game critics, journalists, and just plain video game fans.

How many true video game fans cannot appreciate games that do NOT involve online action? It's not the be-all and end-all of gaming.

I would say that each systems online abilities are not comparable. The 360 for example does have an online environment designed entirely to suck you in to the point that you feel you cannot live without it. MS are not idiots, they charge for it, of course they are going to make you want it more than oxygen or an upskirt pic of jalba. It pays, and in return you get what you pay for.

The Wii online is free, so bitching about it now just looks like Oliver asking for for more free food. You play people online, in a game. So you can't call people 'nintenfags' over voicechat. You can't rack up 11ty billion gameboner points to wave in other geeks faces. So what? Is that really what counts? Why is the game now secondary to the online appendages? Should it be?

Yes, the online is free, but how they implemented it just seems so broken and distorted. The whole excuse for parental control and friend codes and what not is beyond comprehension. It seems to me they made MORE work for themselves by not just allowing the online system use the wii codes to find each other. I would really like a detailed explanation from them on why they opted not to do that.

Mario Kart and SSBB appeal to the casual gamer as well, and they want to easily play with their friends. Everyone I know is dumbfounded by why they need another code, and they aren't even hardcore gamers. They are Nintendo's target market.

I agree it's not needed, but for the games they implemented it for, it could have been done far simpler if they were just going to have it done the way it's done now

Yeah, I have it, thanks. Only addition is Friends and, yeah, that is better as it is game independant. Voice chat, again, getting called a i love you 200 times per game by a 12 yr old gets tired pretty fast.

Lets not get bogged down here. The article is heavily biased trolling shit. It states the 360 can 'download games like Street Fighter', adding it to a list of reasons why 360 online is better, as if the Wii cannot, which it clearly can.

i play a lot of warhawk online and there has only been one instance of some guy mouthing off and everyone else started making fun of him and he left.

i don't know much about home but i hear its got neat stuff...and i think what the author was getting at was that xbl and psn have original games on them as opposed to rereleases of older games on the wii.

Well that was not how it was stated. They mentioned old game downloads as a BONUS of Live, not a detriment. WiiWare is also coming, but I guess that will suck too for that reviewer.

Damn. Here I was having fun playing all the games on my Wii and I should have been pissed because of the not so great online play. I've been so stupid!

I just have a few friends bring some beers over on Fri/Sat and we have a good ol beat down session.

When SSBB came out, the game had a hard time finding anyone for online play. Now it seems to be getting a lot better at finding people for a game. Meh.

Combine beer and wii a la Indian Poker. Loser of a SSBB match have to down 2 beers. That should help the loser get worse

I think what a lot of people need to understand is that unlike MS and Sony, Nintendo is not focusing very heavily on online gaming. They are not trying to compete with MS and Sony when it comes to that market. They make it available with some games, but most of the features and conveniences that we have come to expect thanks to XBL are not there because Nintendo isn't putting forth a tremendous amount of resource to support their online gaming.

That doesn't mean that you have to like it. It doesn't mean that your feelings on the matter won't be heard. It doesn't mean that Nintendo was not well aware of what the online voices in gaming want. However, it does mean they are continuing to focus on the majority of their audience which consists of casuals who might enjoy these kinds of features, but it is not going to stop them from spending money and that is what really counts. Nintendo will probably come out with a lot of these feature requests, but don't expect a rush and develop them. There is not much of a need for the them spend a tremendous amount of money very quickly when it comes to online gaming until they decide (if they decide) that online gaming is a market they really want to focus on capturing more of.

Even if they don't focus on it they don't have to totally gimp it when it is decided to add it in there. The only time I can really get together with my friends now is on the weekends and its really annoying that we have to put up with the absolutely horrible online implementation when we play during the week.

Ya, I don't disagree with you. I'm not going to take the fanboy approach and start claiming that they are doing a great job because there is a lot of room for improvement. I guess what I was trying to emphasize the most is their business strategy and how online gaming fits into it. Supporting online console gaming is not easy. Especially at first. They are just scraping the edges of this beast for now, but I am sure over time they will get better should they choose to continue to support it with many future games. It's probably going to be slow transition and learning curve though so it's best to be patient.

Meh, Nintendo have been doing online for years. They have nothing to learn. The SNES online system was only shut down a couple of years ago in Japan. It's a simple matter of economics. N are crapping money without needing to capture the type of gamer who plays multiplayer online games 7 days a week.

Do I appear bothered? I just don't see the point in playing games exclusively online. I'm a firm believer that these people are a vocal minority, found almost exclusively on forums.

I have never been at a social function where someone is eschewing the lack of online trinkets. I mean come on, people, it has tons of online funtionality. Just because it doesn't pander to the model employed by company x, doesn't mean it sucks. It means it sucks to pimple farmers that play online games to excess in the brief pauses between fapping.

Ya, I don't disagree with you. I'm not going to take the fanboy approach and start claiming that they are doing a great job because there is a lot of room for improvement. I guess what I was trying to emphasize the most is their business strategy and how online gaming fits into it. Supporting online console gaming is not easy. Especially at first. They are just scraping the edges of this beast for now, but I am sure over time they will get better should they choose to continue to support it with many future games. It's probably going to be slow transition and learning curve though so it's best to be patient.

Meh, Nintendo have been doing online for years. They have nothing to learn. The SNES online system was only shut down a couple of years ago in Japan. It's a simple matter of economics. N are crapping money without needing to capture the type of gamer who plays multiplayer online games 7 days a week.

why the fuck does it bother you when someone who has paid for their wii vocalizes their disappointments?

Do I appear bothered?

yes

Keep creeping this thread toward gamefaqs.com territory and I'm locking it.
