Why do I think Brawl might not be as amazing as we once thought it would be?
Well, it's starting to seem like it's just Melee with some new characters and items and attacks and online play. But, oh! online play...
Just like the game, I think this could flop. Nintendo's online service SUCKS. Until they get rid of friend codes and have a XBLive-esque online setup, their games' online play will be average, at best. Mario Strikers' online play is a joke - there's so many d/c's, even with a good internet connection, that it's hard to enjoy. And the stats reset every week or two or something. And there are friend codes. Brawl will most likely be the same...
