More options to come on wifi?

[Fenvir]

Does anyone know if there has been any news of them adding more options to wifi play? It is pretty barren right now imo. I had been hoping for them to have a player challenge mode (send a 1v1 challenge to the darned kirby that keeps posing after he beats you with items on with anyone) or the chance to enter 1v1 battles.

I don't think they will add anything new to online mode. I really hope they will though

 

[Noodlehead]

I don't think they will add anything new to online mode.

i agree with him

 

[LinkSceptile333]

I highly doubt, although 1 vs 1 with anyone. like you said, sounds pretty neat.

 

[BladeRadio0]

I highley doubt they will unless they get some brains and realease some miracle at E-3 2008

Wait... so you can't do 1v1 with anyone? (I don't have brawl yet )

 

[Trapt497]

They should. Man they really should. But I doubt it. Time will tell, but I don't think Nintendo will bother with it. In my opinion they should reduce how much lag there is (everyone knows the lag is ridiculous, I have a ton of lag while playing my friend who lives 15 minutes away) before giving an option for 1v1 with anyone. Or maybe they should also give an option to play stock matches instead of being forced to play time. But we'll see.

Does Nintendo even have a way to add patches?

 

[ReppinThat703]

I'm pretty sure they could patches cause I heard they were going to make a patch for gh3

 

[Vidd]

I tried a match today (3 actually) and the lag made it unplayable.
I was very, very disappointed.

Improving the online would be too pleasing to the fans, and Nintendo wouldn't want that.

Edit:
I was reading my friend's GamePro magazine the other day and it mentioned that there wasn't going to be any DLC for Brawl. I don't know how reliable GamePro is, so maybe you shouldn't take it too seriously.

Anyway, I've pretty much given up on Nintendo doing anything to please their hardcore audience since they're more concerned about getting your 80-year-old grandmother to play their games rather than us.

 

[ReppinThat703]

Ya seriously WTF nintendo why didn't they have ranks and Shiz like halo that would make the game so much more competitive ((((((

 

[Sad Panda323]

Because Nintendo has to refuse to do anything that their competitors do just to set themselves apart, which is stupid, and ridiculous.

 

[ndayday]

I think this is very unlikely, I remember reading (I think it was the DOJO) that Sakurai didn't want a ranking system because it would only appeal to just one group of Smash Bros. fans.

I think it was intentionally made so that Brawl wasn't a place where you would go on and get beat by a pro, making the n00b that played the pro say, "Well gee, Brawl online sucks, I always loose."

Basically, in my opinion, Brawl wasn't made to be what I just said. And it seems unliikely that just because we don't like the online service, Nintendo's gonna change it.

I hope they do though. XD

The reason why the options are so limited is because Nintendo didn't want Brawl online to be plagued by a cesspool of ethugs and child molesters. Sakurai has already mentioned that Nintendo has no plans on releasing any patches.

It'd be nice though if they released a patch for 'Brawl With Anyone' mode where you can host a room with customized rules, and other anonymous people can see your room much like the 'Brawl With Friends' feature, however the taunt balloons will be left disabled. It'd also be nice if you were given the option to add those people to your Friends List.

 

[TheSundanceKid]

I had a 1 vs. 1 match on with anyone before! We couldn't find any other people to join and they (surprisingly) weren't replaced by computers!

 

[The Real Inferno]

Yeah I love how comps are only added sometimes for no reason. I have had a couple of 1v1 matches in With Anyone mode.

 

[JonBeBonanza]

More options for brawl via wifi...NO? But for the wii...yes. Games such as Guitar Hero World Tour (or something like that) is said to have DLC. Whereas Conduit is rumored to have Voice Chat (YEHZZZ!). So the options for games are in the games not the actual services.
