[Wii] Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I get the same issue, works fine for other games like Mario Kart Wii.

I might pick this up later, never owned a SSB game before should be a blast for a little while.

Yep, no problems at all playing Mario Kart, can get any number of random games.

With SSBB it seems to connect to nintendos wifi service fine (in fact it even told me it was downloading a new map or something yesterday when I tried), it lets me pick a character and select a map, but then it just sits waiting for other players indefinately - theres me beating on a punch bag on my own.

Well, I finally found some other people complaining of a similar thing:

I wonder if, unlike mario kart, they've done something stupid and only let you play against people in the same country, reducing the playing population?

Finally got round to playing this properly this weekend. It's okay, but I'm not enjoying the nunchuck and remote as a control. Think I may dig out the gamecube controller.
