the entire forum's dead...

[AR!Ø]

Ah yes that's right...inactivity for +24 hours = dead

Wait since when? ><

Nintendo's whole online meeting thing is non existant. You cant hookup and just ole talk like i do with Arcman and Redlum on LIVE. You cant talk sh!t in combat like we do in HALO. Yuh cant even bug ppl like i do on my PS3.
I understand the purpose of friend codes, but ......Wii sweatage will only be at ppl's houses. I mean you play BRAWL online and you cant even talk sh!t with or to the next man you fight him....and dont even know if he want to play again or not
well....we can actually do a 3 way skype or MSN or something voicechat

[Rten-Kakashi]

so wat if u can't talk? u can still send instant messages in brawl even in the middle of a fight

[AR!Ø]

Instant messages that must be set before playing...like...taunts. Melee for me at least is plenty about the shit talk during the fight. Not that this wi-fi play not dread, just that voice chat would be very very cool for brawl imo. shit talk doesnt mean belittling or debasing anybody, like what does go on in cyber cafes etc. (noob and name callin etc.), but just for the hell of it.

u hadda b crazy if during a fight you gonna, start--->menu---->msg.....abc..a.....abc...b.....mno....o.....

Im sure you've been on LIVE or PS3 online to experience how voicechat is with friends in a game.
is sh!t talk all thru the game.....before, during and after.
Other night on HALO i talking to cowsquad bout stuff in my career while playing a deathmatch....when someone die you hear in the middle of the conversation..."yea so what we did was....oh geewwwwwwd!!! who get dat!" those things are real fun

msg emoticons still cant be the same, its like msg'ing in WoW compared to Vent in raid. Much less co ordinated, much less fun

[AR!Ø]

ROFL @ "otacon, what's that lizard thing?"

[Rten-Kakashi]

shivadee that's not what i'm talking bout, u set a specific message to a button and when u press the button during a fight, your message comes up above your character's head, PS3 people, please don't get mad at me for saying this, but so far brawl's online play looks better than any of ps3 online games with or without a headset(PLEASE CONSIDER MY REQUEST BEFORE RESPONDING!!!!!)

Man saying Brawl online play "looking" better than any PS3 online game...those are some big words...Where's your proof?

[AR!Ø]

Yes, Have YOU considered what you're saying? The fact that brawl only supports wi-fi is by itself a handicap for online play, after that they had little choice in the way of in-game communication it seems. Those messages are little better than taunts. As for "looking better" than anything ps3 has to offer, I personally simply cannot wait for brawl (more so after today's update), but that is a very, VERY fickle argument there. rainbow 6 vegas, resistance, warhawk, tekken 5...what were you saying again?

[Rten-Kakashi]

oh sure! just sharing my opinion with u guys, but you want to drain my chakra, and get mad, see? this is why using other sites' forums is good for health and opinion sharing dammit! c'mon ppl why u gotta be like that?

[Redlum08]

WTF, why are you draining my Chakra?? I didn't touch yours, you draining the wrong Chakra buddy...It wasn't me, and who got mad?? All I did was ask you to provide proof.

there I added 1 Chakra, happy now?

[Rten-Kakashi]

sorry man i put yours back

[NeoSpartan117]

All this fightin bout chakra and wii online better than ps3 online and all this stuff  . Ah well.
Btw, headsets is one of the best things about online gaming, without 1 it's just like playin singleplayer with smarter A.I.

My sentiments exactly....now if they can incorporate a wireless headset for the Wii then we talking, otherwise this texting thing is not going to work...

Nintendo delivers a condom for Wiimote

Protective rubbery thing can be ordered for free

By Theo Valich: Wednesday, 03 October 2007, 7:14 AM

DOMINANT AND UNEXPECTED leader in the world of consoles, Nintendo - has just taken further steps to passively increase confidence of Joe Six-packs worldwide, who have a poor grip on their Wiimotes.

The outfit has introduced a rubbery condom thingy called Wii Remote Jacket and it now comes by default with every new Wii console. Even if the Wiimote detaches from your hand, and flies through the air, it should not cause major damage to your telly. This might also be just the trick for games like tennis, or Mario Soccer, where two players might hit each other hard with controllers, while trying to slam dunk or get that mega-ball goal.

And now Wi-owners can get a free Wii Remote Jacket from Nintendo, just by asking for one.

There is little doubt who's winning the PR war of consoles, and currently that war is also dominated by number of sold units. While Microsoft has a problem called console build quality (caused by cutting down price everywhere Ballmer stepped in), and Sony is constantly cutting down features of PS3 (PS2 compatibility is going the way of do-do birds), this is second time that Nintendo is offering something free for console owners.

Shipping will start on October 15th, but you can re order the protective thing now, just by using our complementary L'Inq.

For your information, the form will require that you put in the serial number of your console, and this offer is limited for US and Canada.

So having said Nintendo does good PR, it goes and shoots itself in the foot outside North America. But we're sure it will see the error of its ways.

oh gaw neospartan, this ain't ur business, and dey bound to bring out a wireless headest sooner or later, but for people whho can still appretiate the wii and its badness(some of u may disagree), well for those people, we doh bound to play with a headset aiight? as long as de game good, we doh biz, talk done right dey.

Its a fighter....first priority is lag issues. If Nintendo's servers can handle that kind of bandwidth. They arent online focused, their servers are designed to take the load of what LIVE has. Given Nintendo's Wii sales, they were unprepared for the huge way the system is recieved. They obviously are well aware now as well as the judgement of the large number of Brawl preorders. But we are not hearing anything, anywhere of Nintendo annoucing any kind of online upgrades with their servers, meaning were talking P2P play like with DS. Now it comes down to who has crappy connections and who doesnt. A 4 player simultaneous Brawl times 100,000 people doing that. Thats a hella lot of bandwidth..and we arent even talking headset voice chat yet.


How many people you know are online with their DS compared to those offline? Nintendo wants you to not need HD, not need 5.1 but you must have wireless.....thats ridiculous..people that dont have HD and 5.1 MOST likely dont have WiFi either....they have a straight hardline to their single PC. Not to also mention Wireless is the worst way to game, your broadband width is alot slower....lag issues again and sometimes connection loss.

I am excited about how Brawl is going to be online...but all people are saying "woot ONLINE!" without any idea as to what that means.
