Disappointed about public voice chat? I'm actually happy about that. If I wanted to listen to 10 year olds acting like they're everything, I'd play a certain other game (Hint hint)

In fact, I wish they had an option on brawl to mute those idiotic text messages over characters. 

I'd rather not have to mute everyone in every game I play

That's good! I don't want to hear or talk to strangers. The no invite thing is dumb though.

Yes, you must make sure you have a parent or guardian present when interacting with others online ;)

Seriously though, I thought this practice was standard for Nintendo.

Yeah, we've known this for a long time.

In MK8 you have a list of friends online and from there you can join them, so the lack of an invite system isn't to bad. And you can chat with friends which IMO is pretty much all you should need.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

Just because its standard doesn't mean its not stupid.

Meh. Invites are pointless anyway, because you just go where you want to go and join what you want to join. What's the difference? And also good, I'd rather not hear any of your voices .

I've come to the understanding that critical thinking, the ability to disconnect emotionally and view things without bias, is VERY rare indeed. I think we should have manditory critical thinking classes starting at preschool but, the powers that be don't want it that way. If you have a society of free thinking individuals, that's bad for both big business and world powers alike. 

I don't think its that rare, although it is definetly a minority.

The problem with internet anonymity is that people aren't held accountable and are given free reign to ignore the ramifactions of lack of critical thought.


While true, I have to question the authenticity of a person if he/she only uses critical thinking skills as a social "mask" etc.
