Would you pay to make Wifi Better?

[Cherry64]

I'm talking about basic brawl...

ohh, lol I see well yeah that'd be cool.

 

[linkmaster71]

I would. Especially if it was more like xbox LIVE with a gamertag-like feature...

 

[CraigUK37]

If nintendo did introduce a pay feature for online, im pretty sure it would only apply to new games, and not existing ones. Much like you cant use wii speak on brawl.

 

[Thunder Of Zeus]

Wifi is independant of brawl and shared by multiple systems, it is an entirely seperate thing. It consists of a transmitted signal that your wii recieves. If they had two seperate senders, one for paying players and one for free players, I'm sure the competitive community would be reaaaallly overjoyed

 

[Chileno4Live]

Hell yeah i would pay. If it means no lag, why not And more options for basic brawl wouldn't be bad...

 

[Kief]

i'd like to just be able to do basic brawl for once lol. all the times i've tried it i've never found anybody :\

 

[Cherry64]

really?
well dude you gotta wait it out haha. try exiting and come back

 

[Kief]

dude ive tried all kinds of ways in both basic and team brawl...its a lost cause lol. its ok i have friends though

 

[Unanimated]

Yeah, it would be cool if they made it more similar to Xbox LIVE, where you can have headsets and stuff, and if they released a USB hard drive for the Wii and download Wii games through the shop channel, I would totally pay for that.

 

[Albert.]

I'd so pay for this, yes

 

[Cherry64]

haha sweetness

 

[Smash_Of_Fate]

I was thinking about that, too. And the Wifi we have now is exceptional for free Wifi. If Nintendo made two Wifi's, one you pay for and one you don't, then I would be perfectly content with the Wifi I have now, so yes, I would pay ot make it better.

I agree with both of these guys, but I'm not sure if it would work out. I don't think enough people would be willing to pay knowing that the free service is also available. The free wifi service does attract a lot of people to Nintendo for all Nintendo games not just Brawl.

but not everybody has to get it. only people who wanted it would pay, and from the look of this thread so far, alot would pay.

they cant add more servers just for brawl? idk how it works lol.

How would that work...?

If you're playing someone who hasn't paid for it, one would lag, one wouldn't?

Or are you saying that to play it at all you would have to pay, that would make more sense.

 

[Deflect]

I'd have no problem with paying a fee every month.

I think it's along the lines of xbox live silver membership and gold membership. Silver, you can talk to friends and stuff (and in the wii case, maybe play private games with your friends) and Gold would be the whole package. Maybe?

lagless would play lagless. and lag would play lag. simple as that.
everyone gets the same thing but lagless could play laggy but it'd be one sided.

 

[Kief]

yeah. unfortunately both players dont have the same amount of lag, so one guy would be screwed i guess.

btw has anybody noticed ur buttons gettin messed up on wifi? like for example sometimes i hit the grab button and it shields or jabs instead. it doesnt happen often but its really annoying and sometimes costly when it does. has anybody else ever had this problem?

 

[paper otavio]

I would pay 10 bucks a month for nintendo live.....lol
I would but their games of hopes to find a game with 1 month free of this.....

Me and my X Box 360. >_<
I would pay for the online if it were like 20 bucks........

 

[RyanPF]

You couldn't have a laggy player play against a lag-free player. That would either destroy sync or drag the lag-free player back into lagdom. >.> So it would have to be members vs. members and freebies vs. freebies.

well in that case i suppose the members can have an option of which servers they play on. so they could play with both. however it seems as though alot of people would be 'members' so they should have plenty of other members to play. and if they wanted to play a personal friend they knew or something and that person wasnt a member then it would just have to be laggy.

 

[Boxob.]

I'd pay 200 if they made Melee, lagless online.

I have, cost me few random wifi battles. =P What's funny was the lag actually wasn't bad, but it was there foe sure. Tried throwing and wound up shielding or jabbing like you said.

 

[Sucumbio]

No, actually. I already paid for the game and the console. To pay MORE is adding insult to injury. Next you know game makers will come out with sub standard products on purpose just so they can charge more for the "better" experience. Meh.

 

[SmashBrother2008]

If it means fixing WiFi and adding full features that we would EXPECT to see from a modern game then YES!

 

[Panix]

in response to this, you make no sense. because it's not "brawl" itself that makes wifi laggy *though i do admit, i play dbz online and it's no where near as bad." its more of the fact that wii online is free, and it's online isn't developed yet. people don't by the wii to go online and play call of duty. people by the wii to play sports, fit, and brawl . so....

Yes, I would pay about 40-50 bucks for (bold italic 12 font) NINTENDO (Close bold italic 12 font) to fix the general internet experience.

 

[Sucumbio]

actually it IS Brawl that's laggy, there's another thread about that, where someone asked why Mario Kart Wii wasn't as laggy ... it's cause Brawl's so complex or whatever that it can't function well online. Paying more money just seems wrong. It's like Service Pack 3. You don't have to pay extra for it because you've already paid for Windows... the service pack just improves it, but Microshaft doesn't expect people to actually pay more for the fix.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

I'd pay. It's like paying for live. I really could care less if there are good deals such as 50$ for 13 months. Everyone was looking forward to the Wifi the most, in my opinion. It was such a huge let down to me. Still, I don't understand why brawl lags like such a mofo, whereas Mario Kart never lags. Sigh.

 

[Sucumbio]

Ok well now that I've read more of this topic I guess I misunderstood the thread basically. it's not would you pay money for a better Online Brawl experience, it's would you pay money for a better Nintendo Wifi Connect experience which in turn -should- improve online brawl along with several other games. And yes actually, I would pay for that. XBox Live is a pay service so too could NWC. But part of their whole selling point was "our online gaming is free! yay!"

there you go yes, it was a good selling point but it wasn't supposed to suck. thus if we paid maybe it'd get better.

 

[Kief]

well there still could be free, just paying money would make it better. i dont believe this thread was made specifically to rewrite nintendo's wifi policy, but just to get a collective opinion on whether people would pay money to not have lag (i think). however this turned into something that may end up being presented to nintendo. >.>

 

[DennisTheKing]

The only thing i want them to do with wifi..is possibly make it a little bit less laggier..and Have 1V1 basic brawls....that's what i want.

 

[DemonFart]

I say nintendo gives the people who paid for wifi excellent signal with no lag and the people who use it for free get crappy connection so they will have to pay and soon everyone will have great connection.

 

[:mad:]

I wouldn't pay unless they gave better options. Wi-fi lacks so much of what Xbox has.

 

[Cel]

I would pay. If its only a one time payment and it takes away the main problem with brawl on wi-fi I believe its a relativly fair deal (thought if nintendo did take that route it would sho that they purposly make wi-fi laggy just to squander more money).

 

[yummynbeefy]

hell yea id pay 100 bucks to make it betta

 

[Lotasin]

I would give double, or maybe even triple the amount asked for for better WiFi

 

[:mad:]

Well, yeah. They'll make you buy upgrades one by one so you can get the best gameplay.
