Today at the Smash Bros. DOJO!! a big announcement went up. The WiFi mode is officially announced and screenshots are out.
You can play with just your friends where you can send any of four preloaded textual taunts through the four directions on the D-pad, or you can play with any random people from around the world. To protect the little kids they did have to sacrifice a bit of opportunity for a strong Smash Bros based gaming community by blocking any form of communication between random opponents, including names. Then again, after seeing WiFi play for the DS, you can’t expect much more than undiluted gameplay from Nintendo’s online modes.
Everybody knows it’s going to be a great game and this is just one more reason to make me look forward to Dec. 3rd.

That’s almost like Metroid Prime Hunters’s wifi but in Metroid you see the names of the hunters, they are just monitored heavily. I only hope Nintendo’s servers don’t die like they did when Mario Strikers came out. Nintendo just keeps under guessing what they are capable of. I also hope one of the other wifi modes is a instant messaging service with wiimote kiiboard compatibility.
