![]() ![]() There are a total of 12 characters in the game (Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus Aran, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox McCloud, Pikachu, Ness (EarthBound), Captain Falcon (F-Zero), Falco Lombardi (Star Fox), Jigglypuff (Pokemon), and Pichu (Pokémon) ), out of which only 4 can fight each other at the same time. This popular fighting game has many sequels to it, where you will see a lot of Nintendo characters out against each other in a fighting arena. Hopefully this will be retified when the game is released in the U.K, as I’ll be able to connect to other people closer to me.In this new game called Super Smash Bros, you will get to play as your favorite character from Nintendo! Help this guy go up against all his opponents in this fighting game mashup! Smash those buttons and smash your opponents! So, in other words, if the people you are trying to connect to are far away, there is too much lag and it won’t let you play. It seems that Nintendo may be blocking by ping latency rather than IP address (discussed here on NTSC-UK). My guess is that this happened because some people in the U.K have imported the U.S version of Brawl and so there are more people closer to me to connect to. I have finally managed to play random matches over the internet and also friend matches. Smash Brothers, after all, is made for multiplayer mayhem with friends! ^^ If anyone knows of a workaround, please help! Perhaps the problem will be solved when the game is released in America.? God forbid my Japanese import version can only connect to other Japanese versions of the game… I’ll never be able to play random matches online at all then… o.O Īnyway, to make up for it, I’m hosting a Smash Brothers Brawl fest at my house this Saturday! If we get a good turnout, it should be great fun. I can surf the internet on the Wii or download the weather reports through a Japanese proxy, but I just cannot connect to other people to play Brawl online. However, I managed to do everything else through a couple of proxies I tried, bar play Smash Brothers online. Of course, the free proxies available are not really reliable, so that could be still be the problem. It doesn’t really solve the problems I have of never being able to find anyone to connect to… Smilebanana also wrote about some error codes that appear when trying to connect online with Japanese versions of the game, but it seems to be more for problems connecting when in Japan. Whether or not Nintendo is blocking all non-Japanese IP addresses I do not know, but I have tried for hours to try and circumvent it by using various Japanese proxy IP addresses. Other people who have Japanese imports have reported success playing matches with people they have exchanged ‘Friend Codes’ with, albeit with a little lag across continents, but nobody I know of has been able to do the ‘free-for-all’ style random matches. It seems that because I am not in Japan, I am being blocked from connecting to other players online. My only problem with the game so far has been the lack of online play. ![]() I ended up smashing in one of those plastic covers that house light switches in my utter frustration one day after 3 pumped-up jigglypuffs succeeded in crushing me for the umpteenth time… o.O My, I was empassioned back then… I was pretty good at the game back then, but this task was pretty tough. I was obsessed with beating 3 computer characters on the hardest difficulty setting with only 3 lives. One particular vivid memory I have ended up with me venting my anger on a light switch. I’m re-living those frustrating days back when I used to play Super Smash Brothers on the N64 nearly everyday after school. ‘Geki muzu’ (something like ‘ultra hard’) is something else. The game is fantastic! It has a solid 1-player or co-op 2-player mode, as well as several event matches such as the classic Homerun contest and break the targets and other single player modes to work your way through on 5 difficulty settings. My guess is it will be summer before the U.K shores see any sign of PAL versions. It’s scheduled for release in America on March 9th and there is as of yet no known release date for Europe. I have been waiting for this game since the summer of 2005 when I expected it would come out. I have to confess, I haven’t even tried Mario Galaxy yet and I’ve spent time unlocking many of Brawl’s secrets ^_^. ![]() Dairantou Smash Brothers X! I finally got my hands on the Japanese Wii import about a week ago along with Mario Galaxy and the soundtrack I ordered from Club Nintendo. ![]()
