I got a Wii for christmas, and while I was playing brawl, one of the few actually worth playing games for Wii (in case, you don't know somehow), and I decided to play online. I mean, originally my thought was, "well, its not going to be anything like my xbox, or as PS3's online, but it'll still be me playing against other people in a game.

Oh damn was I wrong.

Not only was it lacking in gametypes and rulesets, I guess almost noone plays online either, as it takes me 5 minutes to find a game and its usually the same people I just played against.
It lagged like fuck and you don't seen to have a say for bloody anything that you actually get to choose.

Now that my little rant is over, the question: Am I just too used to decent online from the other systems or does it really suck that badly all the time?
Do you play online on Wii? And if so how can I make it suck less in regards to the connection?

Well, do you somehow have a wired connection or an N router?
I want to have an actual normal framerate game that isn't half of a second behind, but it just doesnt seem to work very well.

Sadly, I don't know what wired connections. I'm wireless.

I was just hinting/asking if one existed. Is it just brawl though? or are all games like that?

Brawl does have it's problems with its online(Gamespy needs to boost its servers) But I've played a lot of lagless matches and found people in less than a minute.

Hopefully, this will help.
