Ehh... I didn't understand why you made the question in the end. I believe Nintendo has big plans for online in the future and currently Virtual Console and WiiWare makes them money. Since there are a lot of Wiis offline, this is a way to promote the online features, like the Wi-Fi USB connector, which manufacturing was ended/is ending and this is for its replacement.

Have you tried to play Smash online with strangers? My wii never finds other players, but when I play COD4 online on my PS3 I can play instantly with others

 

Yeah, i have. But i don't think a Nintendo router is going to fix it. The Brawl online system is pretty much broken. They should have taken the same approach they did with Mario Kart.

 

Brawl came out a few months before MK Wii, so it's likely they did what the did because of what happened with Brawl.
