Wii online games with friends

Brawl with players from every corner of the world was a surreal experience even if the lag made the experience less than stellar. But all good things must come to an end, and on May 20th, , the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection servers were shut down, meaning those long-loved titles could only be enjoyed in an offline setting…right? Fortunately for us, an ongoing project has prepared for this shut down, and you can still play those classic games online like the old days with just a few simple steps.

Read on to learn about Wiimmfi, the fanmade, free-to-use online server for the Nintendo Wii. Because of the work Wiimm had done in the years prior, he was able to get the Wiimmfi Project up and ready before the Nintendo servers shut off on May 20th, Wiimmfi was originally focused solely on Mario Kart Wii , which continues to be the most popular game played on Wiimmfi by far, featuring hundreds of players at any given time of the day.

Over the years, Wiimmfi added more and more games to its servers, including classics such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Strikers Charged. Gameplay wise, there are no differences between how any particular game played on Nintendo Wi-Fi versus how it plays on Wiimmfi, for better or for worse.

A game that struggled with intense lag like Super Smash Bros. It also adds a lot of spice to local multiplayer, as everyone flails their arms around confidently toward victory.

The WiiWare store was full of low-profile titles with amazing gameplay that went largely overlooked back in the day — including Water Warfare. It features 8-player online shootouts in six modes like Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag and supports 2-player split-screen.

But there were a couple of gems here and there — including The Conduit. It draws a lot from corruption in the US government, making the narrative reminiscent of a Dan Brown novel. The multiplayer is similar to Halo: Combat Evolved, but with some thoroughly customizable controls that make the experience much smoother. The sequel to The Conduit took us out of Washington D. On the other hand, the multiplayer is a frantic match of speed where each player struggles to capture more Elebits than their opponent.

Besides letting you explore an alien planet collecting trinkets for profit, the game features both competitive and co-op multiplayer too. Competitive multiplayer takes the form of a hectic marble-collecting competition similar to capture-the-flag. Challenge Mode lets you take on hard-as-nails bosses and complete seemingly unreasonable objectives as a team.

When it comes to multiplayer, I love colorful titles that break the monotony of team-based shooters and fighters that usually dominate the scene. This sandbox platformer tasks you with returning color to an alien city that an evil corporation has taken over. The game features a whopping different puzzles for single-player, and over for co-op and competitive play. Lots to keep you busy. One of the most unusual multiplayer offerings on the Wii is Rayman Raving Rabbids, a series that foregoes any pretense of seriousness in favor of pure, unadulterated fun.

My favorite thing to do with friends in RRB is competing to shoot the most toilet plungers onto panicking bunnies in Score mode. Everyone has played the classic House of the Dead arcade games at least once. The game lets up to four people tackle monstrous horrors and enjoy the intentionally cheesy story, full of very creative swearing and absurd situations. The Ultimate Wii Guide. Search this site.
