Playing online from Europe.

[KazenoZ]

Okay, I've got the japanese copy of Smash, I live in a country that plays in the europe region, and I've got an american Wii(Nope, nothing australian)(Yes, imported game.).
When I go online, and enter a with anyone match, I always end up getting a message that sends me back to the main menu after a few minutes in the waiting room with no response for other players, so I was just wondering, can't japanese games play online in the American/European region?(I can work games online from both NTSC U and PAL)

I'm experiencing the same problem =/

Maybe it's the same error code as Strikers. It means that Nintendo is having problems making matches or too many may be online. It happenes to me sometimes.

I think it just blocks IP adresses outside Japan as of now, so the poor japaneses won't lag when they play.

well ...i have same problem too ..when i enter to anyone match ...but play with friends is fun for me ..i didn't care too much if i can't play in anyone mode

but i wonder if i add the Brawl FC from another friend who live across the world ..i can add and can play with them ?

Works perfectly for me, although only for people in Luxembourg which is odd enough since I'm living 1km away from the French frontier.

I don't know if it can help, but I added the people I want to play (pretty much only brawl owners in Luxembourg) to my friends, perhaps that makes the Wi-Fi connexion possible.

Oh, I didn't know that it still worked in the With Friends mode!
That's great, cuz I didn't even bother adding people yet XD
Thanks alot for the answers guys, and if anyone wants to exchange FCs just PM me.

i live in england and got a ntsc wii. is it alright i add your wii code? heard all wii friends move over to brawl.

With anyone doesn't work outside of Japan due to an update to the *** Brawl servers and only *** wiis with the absolute latest Wii Update can use With anyone.

With Friends is fine however.

You mean 3.2U that came out this week? I've updated to that before I got the game and With Anyone still doesn't work =\

Btw, I've just noticed, I know that you can't chat while playing and all, and it's obvious, but why the hell is there no way to chat AT ALL?
I thought there would atleast be a mode for chatting through the With Friends menu(Not during play)

No, there was an update about a week before that for Japanese Wii's. At least from what I'm told anyway.

So if you would have a modded wii chip that unlocks for other region games you won't be able to play in "play against anyone" because of IP restrictions?
