Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Is current Wii online offerings better than Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Senlis on 17 October 2008

I bought SSBB really looking forward to the online play, but every time I have an online match, it seems very laggy and unresponsive.  I don't think it is me because I have a broadband 7Mbps connection and my computer plays World in Conflict online just fine.  Is more current online games designed any better?

Brawl's online is crappy. Other games (Mario Kart, Medal of Honor, etc.) actually have good online. So don't fear.

Just be pissed at Sakurai for screwing up Brawl...

The crappy online is no big deal for SSBB, it's a bad game anyway.

Please ignore the man quoted on this subject. He has some issues we're trying to sort out for him.

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

Yeah, getting into an anonymous game online in SSBB can take a while at first.

Very sad.

Of course, the rest of us have friends to play with. ^_^

Bomberman Blast on Wiiware has a good online component. Still uses friend codes but it works. No major issues like the ones in Smash Bros.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Yeah, Brawl has pretty much the worst online in the Wii's library--sad because it's by far the best multiplayer game



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

thanks for the input. If I every have money, I may try Mario Kart Wii.

Mario Kart Wii on-line is very good.
SSBB can be good ... but often is not.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

SSBB is still better to play with friends when they are over or if you have friends codes friends. Other then that it is pointless to even "try" to play online.

There are a whole bunch of online games that are good like Mario Kart Wii, Medal of Honor Hero 2, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, EA sports games, and much more in the coming years. Be on the look out
