Having advertised 3 games, as their so called BIG 3, it would be quite foolish if atleast one out of the three games did not contain online activity.

Nintendo will ultimately disappoint fans if for some reason they cannot manage an online multiplayer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Some people feel online is not needed when you can play with friends in the neighborhood. but that only goes for so long. What if you live in the middle of nowhere? What if your friends suck at the game? What if they are gone? Online to this game would add lots of replay value, and adding in a ranking system would make it flawless. Everything in the game already looks good, they just need the online mode. They have mentioned it but they have mentioned it also with Metroid Prime 3, and look where that went. Also being able to communicate via headset would be great too.

What Nintendo Has Got Going For It So Far:

Wii Sports

Legend of Zelda TP

Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition

Super Paper Mario

Super Mario Strikers Charged

Warioware: Smooth Moves

and Metroid Prime 3 When released

I dont know how big online gaming is in Japan right now, but they know how big it isin the other territories. And how much people want it specifically for brawl, so they wont just ignore that. I mean there would have to be some reason that they just couldnt do it for it to not be in the game.

If everything in Brawl comes out as good as I think it will and there's an online ranking mode and a headset and/or webcam, the game will be nothing but flawless... I think.

Please keep all Smash topics in the Smash thread at the top of the forum HEREJaysonguy

It isn't really a SSBB only topic. He is talking about the big three and how bad it will be if one of the won't be online. I think he can post it without using the sticky.

I agree, anything else besides that would be a huge mistake on nintendo's part. On the flip side if SSBB does have online then it will push the hardware sales even more. Lets wait and see.

Go to www.wikipedia.org, and type in Nintendo Wi-Fi then click on the link that says list of Wii games with Wi-Fi. SSBB is on there I'm pretty sure. All of they're info comes from reliable sources.

No. Wikipedia content comes from anyone who feels like adding to it. I could make the wiki page for Jesus say he had 9 legs and shot flames out of his butt if I wanted to.

I don't care about online that much. Sure it's fine to have... But either I have friends over or I'll read a book.

Even though that, I would like Brawl to have online.

brawl neeeds to be online. but i dont want a ranking system after ive played strikers. people who play all day and are 150-100 are aparently better than people who are 25-0. it would be to confusing to implement a good ranking system with having strikers have 30,000 people online (thats the highest ive seen the last place number go) where brawl would have more than twice as many. plus you cant do points like strikers. but anyway, online would be great, and a mic would be appriciated, but i won't hold my breath. all i want is able to play people and beforehand know who you are playing. strikers randomness wasn't very fun when i was up against the 2nd and 4th best kids. i dont even mind the friend codes since i see no other way of adding friends at this point unless you go by mii name, but there's about 5 other people ive played in the past 3 days with my mii name. keep the friend codes. but yeah no talking wouldnt be very fun since im confused on how choosing stages works, and maybe id like to change my character but they press start anyway, and go to some retarded stage. i dont want to play online if everytime someone else chooses the stage they pick something as bad as icicle mountain. thats not even fun. but yeh thats my rant.

If you know how to use it, Wikipedia is great. Anyway, at last years E3, they said there would be online. But I haven't heard anything about it being online since then.

Evidence FOR Brawl online:
1: It was first announced at E3 during a press conference about the Wii's online capabilities.

2: In every interview where Sakurai has been asked if the game will be online he has said "We think it would be hard to have 4 player online, but we will be trying to include online in original ways" (Paraphrased, I can't be bothered walking all the way up stairs and finding my ONM magazine :l)

3: It would be stupid to not be online.

4: Jesus told me in a dream it would be.

Evidence AGAINST it being online.

1: Reggie said it hadn't been announced.


There is more evidence for than against.

And Nintendo has BWII, Mario Kart and a couple of other games coming. But I still wonder, what'll we get after the big 3?

There has only been one 3d mario on each console, so count that out. MP3 is the last Prime game. No more of those and there has only been one Smash Bros game on each console. Not to mention Sakurai said he isn't planning to develop the next one (Although he did say that about Brawl to start with aswell. I don't think he can stop himself :P)

I seriously worry :(
