Smash Bros Brawl is a game I could play for a very long time but it suffers from something Nintendo HAS to fix, their online policy. Adding online to games could solve a lot of problems. In the same way they make hardcore games like Mario Kart more casual they could be making casual games more hardcore.

Think about Wii Sports with a ranked online mode..... People would be playing competitive doubles all the time, or even golf or boxing. Bowling is too easy to perfect and baseball is a little to shallow but they could still add fun for anyone.

If Smash Bros Brawl stuck to 2 player, 3 stock brawls online they'd be pleasing everyone. It's much more likely the game would be playable too.

The big problem is they haven't pushed hardcore games in many ways and they could have been much smarter about it. So my anticipation for Wii has been reduced to frustration. I waited outside on launch day overnight and now I really don't care about it. If Nintendo changed their online philosophy I would gladly buy their next system but not until then. The DS is about as good online as Wii but they gotta give DS a good (not PSP like) analog stick.

But back on track, I'm selling my Wii. I have 360 and DS and a Mac and those are more than enough.
