Wii numbers... again.

[[AlmightyPyro]]

I didn't want to revive the other threads about Brawl and Mariokart just to get people's friend codes so I figured that a new thread would suffice. Everyone post you Wii numbers and/or friend codes here so that we can brawl and race against each other! even if you don't have either of these games, give us you Wii number so that we can send you mail and such. I will have my Wii number up tonight because I'm late to work! Ciao!

[Terotrous]

I have both Brawl and MK


Brawl: 0301 9482 5952

Kart: 2363 6025 1498

Fair warning, though, I'm pretty good.

[[AlmightyPyro]]

Sweet! Here are mine...

Wii Code: 5761 4735 9159 8877

MK: 1289-9060-7770

Brawl: 0602-7112-2677

I'm getting on right now (3:15 CT) if any one wants to play.

[Terotrous]

Getting on what? Brawl or MK?

[[AlmightyPyro]]

Doees't matter now huh? lol it's ok. I was almost late for work as it is.

[ShineDog]

I do have a Wii now, but the friends code system is so godamn clunky and useless I cant see myself using it, ever.

Not that I am at all interested in any of the online offerings on the Wii thus far.

[SergeXIII]

My Brawl code is
0602-6053-8054
Mario Kart
1075-1390-4013

I'll need to look up my other codes. Anyone up for a Brawl match soon? Id like to try friend Wifi out.

[[AlmightyPyro]]

Just thought I'd remind people that if you and a friend want to play, you both need each others numbers. I'm assuming y'all knew that but I know some people who didn't so...

Also, I'm up for brawl soon, (I realize you posted that 3 hours ago but still.) I'll probably be ready for the next hour or two.

[SergeXIII]

Alright, I'll try and show up within that time.

[[AlmightyPyro]]

dammit get out of your team battle! lol

EDIT: I have a battle ready, just join it. I'm tired of looking at this punching bag. o_O

Edit2: Wow, I just fought Serge and I lagged hard core... :/ dumb internet.

[SergeXIII]

Sorry I dropped out after one, but I was experiencing the worst lag I ever seen. Mario Kart wasn't like that, though I still think I should mess with my connection.

You played well though.

[[AlmightyPyro]]

Yeah connection was horrible. Link must be hard like that. It might be my side that caused the lag because I can't connect to any random battle at all. :/ Mario kart works perfect for me though... :S

[SergeXIII]

Nearly all reviews I heard mentioned friend battles working horribly, but I never imagined it was that bad. I quickly played some other online next gen games inclding Mario Kart (Wii), Team Fortress(PS3), Metal Gear Portable Ops + (PSP) and Call of Duty 4 (PS3) and they all work very smoothly, which is impressive for all the non Wii titles as I ran them in my room which is a fair distance from my router (which is right next to the Wii).

[[AlmightyPyro]]

well damn...

[SergeXIII]

I got this month's EGM. They've been giving the Wii a (deserved) critical eye as of late with an article comparing the current Wii library with the library of the Ataris (Atari consols allowed for cheap production, so the market quickly became flooded with crappy games to the point where no one invested in them anymore, leading to the great video game crash that Shig saved us from with Super Mario Brothers) last month and this month they checked out the Wii online capabilities and whether or not it would imporve. Essentially it looks like Nintendo won't because they don't need to. They're perfectly content with Wii Ware and the Virtual Consol as the Wii's online legacy.

They explain the laggy Brawl situation as too many people accessing due to its popularity (which isn't consistant with how Mario Kart's ability to run a game with over ten human players smoothly) and suggests playing really late when the servers are less active.

[[AlmightyPyro]]

Ok that's not true, I ONLY play really late and it always sucks. I don't think that's an excuse at all, we've had internet games long enough to know how to get around those things. Halo doesn't have problem because the amount of people they have online, which is half the population of earth! I'm disappointed at nintendo's lack of initiative and foresight.

[SergeXIII]

Yeah I know, its total bull. It sunds like they just don't care.
"We're Nintendo. You'll buy it."

[[AlmightyPyro]]

Ha! That's a great quote!

Courtesy of SergeXIII. I say it daily (and just about every Player 3 radio show I did).

I never understood the whole, "the service is overloaded and its lagging the games."

Thats bollocks

sure, it could bog down the matchmaking, but in the vast majority of the games on consoles these days, once you are in the game, thats it. You get 10 consoles talking to each other, it doesnt matter a damn what the rest of the network is doing, because the consoles arent talking to the rest of the network. :|
