Alright so not really non existent but i picked up my copy of brawl on release night(Sunday 9th) from str8gamez and when i got home unwrapped that baby and jumped right in. After a while i tried the online but no one was there so i decided maybe just maybe is release day so no one online. No sah, in fact the truth is it seems nintendo having huge issues contending with the heavy volumes of traffic.

I hope they sort it out soon cuz even though it isnt necessary it is an added level of fun. Plus this is the online era.
