Brawl's online system is crap, plus, to get a decent match, you must play locally(like people from MY).

Mario Kart Wii works much better, infact, it's kinda perfect.

Yes, Wii's online integration is crap, look forward to future games and not the current offerings.

Oh, pls dun compare Wii online with XBOX Live,
XBOX Live is way way way more superior.

That aside, the problem you encountered during online play should be your ISP / Internet connection problem,
if you are using Streamyx, you could be sure that the speed will be screwed most of the time.
I don't experience lag, and my DS, Wii and 360 online play don't drop like yours,
probably because I have 2 ISP, and I switched when 1 ISP slowed.

Secondly, Malaysia's location also play a part when u goes online,
that is especially true with XBOX Live, but it seems less obvious with my Wii (Not sure why),
that is the PING issues i am refering to. Too bad these cannot be changed by ourselves.

Also, pls check whether your Wii is located in a wireless Blind spot,
is there walls or blockages that reduce the wireless signal strength.
I tested the strength using my iPod Touch - by loading a YouTube video,
if my iPod refuse to load it - I am in a Blind Spot, (Again, I invented this, not sure it will work for u)
This is the way I located a good spot for my XBOX 360.

Sorry about that.....
But well, cause I game heavily on 360 and Wii, so that is why i say so....

I am using the lousy Streamyx and P1.

Wiilcome to the Fwiicinating Wiirld of Wii!!!

The easiest way to get yourself online with Wii is to set up a wireless network at home,
and the Wii will detect the network with a few simple steps.

BUT, the quality of online play really rely on the ISP quality.
And Mario Kart Wii does have the best online option so far.
You already have a DS right? The Wii online mechanism won't be too different from the DS one.

The best thing available for Wii online is WiiWare and Virtual Console,
nothing came near to the quality of games it offered.
SONY and Microsoft is not even near Nintendo, when it came to Virtual Console.
WiiWare gave u a breath of great games, like LostWind and World of Goo.
Gotta try for yourself to find out.

Remember, when Wii ask u to select country, select BRAZIL (if u own a US Wii),
then u can use Malaysia Credit Card to purchase WiiPoint.

Most Wii games are not too serious on having a good connection. If you REALLY want the best connection you'll have to invest in the wired adapter which is costly, where else by getting a wireless router, you can use it for PCs, DS, PSP, and etc. etc.

I dunno about GHWT, but I had no problems playing GH3 online, internationally(seldom), but was perfect with LYN users(both East and West, thanks Sheep and Alvin and Keeying ) unless someone's hogging the internet(both client and host).

Mario Kart was great because Nintendo did it well. Very well for a 'Nintendo' online game I had a game with the LYN Nintendo people(about 10?) and it was perfect, and full of challenge and adrenaline
