Fans Rebuild Super Smash Bros for Wii - Without Hacks or Code Violations

Despite the fact that Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been in the hands of Wii owners for more than four years, the game continues to evolve. As many anticipate Nintendo's next installments of the fighting game franchise, which have been announced for the 3DS and Wii U, an eager enthusiast community of pro players has taken to crafting the type of Smash Bros. game they'd like to play.

Though many fans (rightfully) love Brawl just as it is, one particular community of more than 50 volunteers has been attempting to find a more technically-adept iteration of the game. In other words, a global team has been working for more than two years to develop an engine that brings Brawl more in line with Super Smash Bros. Melee on GameCube, retaining the Wii game's depth of content while achieving a speedier, more balanced sense of play. The result is Project M, a piracy-free mod that only requires a physical copy of Brawl and a 2 GB (or less) SD card free of custom stage files. No hardware or software modifications are needed - and it's also free to download. (Note that there are two versions with slightly different functionality, most notably the ability to play Project M online. Also, the mod is currently only supported by NTSC systems and games.)

I has both those games, Melee and Brawl.  Brawl gets played more (gets played still!).  I'll have to see if I can get this working, it'd be interesting to see what they've changed.

I shudder to think what that would cost based on local cab costs here. lol

You could play online, but you'd want to set up an audio link at the very least.

For some reason my Wii picks up news and weather but can't connect to the store or other players.

Maybe it needs a firmware update to access the nintendo network stuff?
