Wi-Fi Play

This game supports Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. If you connect your Wii to the Internet, you can enjoy linked battles with distant people!

For details, click here.

But because this form of communication is greatly affected by the distance between you and your opponent, your brawls may not run smoothly if you’re really far apart—like, for instance, if you’re connecting between Japan and America.

The more distant you are, the worse your connection becomes, and the slower it feels. I apologize, but I hope you understand.



This is the main menu for Wi-Fi!

There are two primary connection methods. The names of these methods are "With Friends" and "With Anyone." The menus and structures of each method are pretty different.

With Friends
Wii friends who have registered one another’s names can play together freely.



Register your friends!

If you’re registered as friends, you can check each other’s status. If a friend is online and you earn his or her consent, you can enter a battle.



You can change your icon...



And even send short messages during brawls!

These short messages are entered in advance, and you send them by taunting. There are four messages for the four directions on the + Control Pad: Up, down, left and right.

With friends, you can brawl any way you like. And there are other modes besides just free-for-alls.

With Anyone
You can also battle with people you don’t know who are looking for brawls. The most important point here is that you will not know each other’s names.



If you think of your opponent as a simple scarecrow, any psychological barriers may melt away.

Your opponent will not know your name or any information about you, and neither of you can send short messages. There will also be no battle records kept for this mode, so whether you win or lose, it doesn’t matter. Just sit back and play.

Now, while you’re waiting for a match to start, you can kill time with a little practice on Sandbag.



Practice, practice!

We’re planning a number of services that make use of Wi-Fi, but we’ll reveal them gradually with the other modes. Enjoy.

nice! i suppose i will have to pick this one up now.

Has anything ever been mentioned about voice chat? I would be very surprised if it ever came out, because of the possibility (probability) of people being abused. But i guess if u just allow it between 'friends' then its more controlable, u only get abused once before taking someone off your friends list. I just dont think its an angle nintendo will go with the broad market and fun/friendly image.

This is really good im 100% getting this game. The only think i think is bad is how u dont know your opponents name. I think they should have made it like strikers where u find out there name. (even if i need be after the match)

This Would have been the perfect opportunity fo Nintendo to introduce voice chat and bundle a headset for the 1st time on the Wii.
But no they have once again wasted a perfect opportunity.
So we are stuck with prompted messages via d pad.
Im not saying the game won`t be great without it but how much better could it have been with it.
Nintendo have so much potential in this system but....
Oh well one day.

If the lag on Jump Ultimate Star is anything to go by this could really suck. Most of the time it runs smooth but it takes one guy with a slow connection and BAM! Game is wrecked for everyone.

Remember this people. If you have a poor connection don't wreck it for everyone else.
