SSBB - online with multiple players not possible?

I was playing SSBB with a friend last night, and decided to try the wifi online game...

I found it pretty odd that you cant play online with other people if you have 2 people with you

I mean, I can play with 3 other online players.... but you would think nintendo would give you the option of playing you and a friend both using the same wii, with other people on the internet as well

its so weird that you cant that I thought maybe I am understanding something wrong. Can someone confirm this?

 

If I understood the person I was Brawling correctly, he and someone on his Wii we're playing against me, which contradicts you're situation.

 

really? I couldnt figure it out, and I checked yesterday and today...

if anyone else knows hows.... could you please give us the info?

thanks,

i'll be looking again as well

 

LOL dont feel bad I spent a hour and can not figure out how to get online and have 2 players on my wii. Im glad someone ask this question, I hope someone can explain how to do it lol.

 

im just glad im not the only one who's having problems finding it lol

I just checked again and couldnt find it :S

 

According to Gametrailers you have to use friend code to get all the options you would get online as if your friends were sitting next to you.

 

Wait do you mean 2 ppl on one console? I just hit the start button on the 2nd controller and presto 2 ppl one console, Vs everyone online. I did use a GC controller however IDK what button to hit on a wiimote.

 

I try that the next time I have friends over, Thanks!! We always play with the wii remote.

 

but would someone next to me, who doesnt have a wii or ssbb have a friend code? isnt there only one code per wii or something? I dont know much about this stuff

 

I thought I tried that in all the options...

can you tell us exactly what part of online play you did that in? since there are like a million different play options

 

I hit every button there was on the second wii remote and even tried my gamecube controller with no sucess. No matter what I cant get it to let me go online with 2 people.

 

I am starting to wonder, was this a team match.

 

As far as I have even known you can't play online wiit 2 people on the same console on any platform.

 

if true, would be weird

I mean, its right there! just give us the option lol

 

I do all the time on xbox live. I just find it hard to believe nintendo would make it so you cant do it like that. But I guess that must be the case.

 

I also have tried every option I can find and can't get 2 players on one wii playing an online match, either as a team or separate in a free-for-all. My friends and I would love to team up and take on the world, but it doesn't seem possible.
Only thing I haven't yet tried is starting a single 4 player online match, then hitting buttons on controller 2 on either the character select screen, or in the practice holding area before 3 other online players join the game. Will try that tomorrow and post back if it works, but I doubt it.

(by the way, is anyone else getting serious lag on lots of their games?)

 

I was expecting some lag but didnt get any...

am I to assume that the online play is not possible with 2 players on one wii?

no one seems to have done it except one person who was very vague with the details

 

Yeah, he is full of it. I don't see how a wii with one inernet connection can have 2 players. I mean most of us have seen how much lag you get when you have 1 player on each wii. More players to a wii will increase the lag to a constant.

 

Mario Charged Strikers

Why? There has to be less data transfer between the participating 2 Wiis with 2 pairs of players than there is between 4 individual Wiis don't you think?

 

I mean with respect to the data that has to tranfer through the one wii. Like the difference between streaming music on your pc and streaming a video.
