Especially with Sakurai, why on earth would you limit online play because <strong>you</strong> thought it would be better with less features? It shouldn't be Sakurai's call. Of course people will want leader boards and a ridiculous amount of stats. Some people live off of the stuff. Personally, I don't really care, I would spend maybe a minute every time I played to check up on it. But it's an opportunity missed for sure, and a disappointment for a lot of people. The whole thing with voice chat is annoying, but I wouldn't count out support later on. It all depends on how successful the headset is when Nintendo launches it. That and DLC. If Mario Kart's DLC starts earning the big N a bunch of cash, they might reconsider some extra stuff for Brawl. I hate to admit it, but I completely agree with you robertj15..

They should have a service that matches XBox Live before they make us pay money. Yeah, Ninty’s online strategy sucks. They should have a service that matches XBox Live before they make us pay money.

Why wouldn't you want to talk to other people? Is it really that hard to implement a voice chat system? They're sitting there making millions, one would think they'd be aiming to improve online play, but no, they offer some pay-per-game service that is going to be horrific. Sorry, Nintendo, but I'm tired of you. I can’t stand Nintendo and their approach to online play. Why wouldn’t you want to talk to other people?
