If you think they have 'left the hardcore crowd' then go play something else that you think is 'hardcore' and stop whining. There is plenty of crap out there for everyone to enjoy.

Yes, there is a minigame and a 95 second timer on that screen but there is ALSO the fact that two players are still selecting their characters and stages. This means that if you get done picking your stuff first and someone else is indecisive, you get to play the minigame. The 95 second timer is no different than the timers in arcade fighting games where you get ten seconds or whatever to pick your character or it'll pick for you. This one is just more forgiving. As for voice chat, yes, it would make the game better. We still have no confirmation that the game doesn't support voice chat in friends mode. Probably not but there is the chance that Nintendo could release something soon considering all the new games that will be bouncing around online. And if talking to your friends is really that important to you, go ghetto. Boot up your computer and skype with them or use a 360 or PS3's online and talk to them over that while playing. Heck, call them up on the phone if it really matters that much. Personally, I could care less. What are you going to say? "Nice hit," "You cheater," "Ha! Owned!," etc. All these can be used with the taunts. In FPS and Strategy games, voice chat is helpful for strategizing but that doesn't exist in a 2D fighter. And if you want to end up talking about anything not directly related to Smash, use a phone. Finally, has anyone ever thought that one of the reasons for no voice chat may be lag? Think of all the processing power required to add your voice, send it over the airwaves, and get it on someone else's headset. That would be more than enough to add a nice chunk of lag to the game and in a fighting game like Brawl, every bit of lag hurts. @*D*:

Hopefully there will be voice chat though for ppl uve added. when i first read this update i was disappointed but after reading some of the previous comments and giving it some thought, i see nintendo is pretty much on the right track yea you no what…these guys are right

The Pokemon trainer has already been announced with 3 Pokemon fighting for him. Also, it was not WiiNintendo that put this out and "spoiled" anything. Check out http://www.smashbros.com for all updates straight from the game's creator. WiiNintendo is only re-posting them on their site. About voice-chat -- I think it'd be cool with friends, but I'm thinking like a lot of others have said... With it on all the time, we're probably only going to hear whiney kids complaining or cursing like crazy. @ Hoff — Those aren’t 4 new characters.

Does this not confirm 4 new characters? Ash and those pokemon. C'mon people, WiFi capabilities are awesome, and THANKS for the update to tell us so, but I think you may have equally spoiled some character reveals there as well. HELLO!!!

"o i just owned your face!" NO YOU DIDNT CHEAP SHOT" "YOUR A HAXOR" i cant think of any way (unless there were HUGE scrolling levels) that voice chat would be that bad of a thing to leave out. One thing that I think would help is allowing you to plug in a keyboard through the USBs on the back and chat with that. Even if it was just for friend battles i think that would add something.

Nintendo has nothing to do with any 'lag' you experience. To not get this game because you think you will have 'lag' is absolutely retarted. I guess that will be your loss though and not mine. Trust me, this could be much worse. They could have forced you to ONLY play against friends. Instead they decided to keep 'anonymous' play available but without chat (which is a blessing). Nothing worse than hearing whiny kids when they are loosing (or winning, heheh) As someone has previously stated, any ‘lag’ you experience is either because of your connection or the host’s connection.

Enjoy. I think that's the key here. Who says there won't be a tournament mode with rankings/a ladder? Not having voice-chat with friends is a bummer, yes. However, not having any form of communication with others is a blessing. No doubt about it. Voice chat is the reason I hardly play halo 2 multiplayer anymore.

I just cannot decide. I'll rent it to see if there is lag and if how bad it is. If it's OK I'll go out and buy this game. This is good and bad. I just cannot decide.
