Snapshots/Custom Stages/Replays service to shut down June 30

[IWontGetOverTheDam]

From the Dojo:

As of June 30th, 2009, the current service that accepts user-generated snapshots, stage designs, and replay data will no longer be available. Please note, however, that we will continue to distribute such data after that date.

Well, it couldn't last forever, eh?

And nothing of value was lost.

*ba-doom tssshhh*

But yeah. I never really used it past the first month of owning the game.

 

[Moozle]

What was the reason for this? This makes me sad

 

[Darkurai]

I could've sworn they stopped that forever ago anyway.

After all, last time I went online, which admittadly wasn't very recently, I didn't get a new stage or picture or whatnot.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

It is saying that you cant send in stages. They will still give you stages.

 

[ZettaKuma]

So Nintendo will remove things from the Online mode, but won't bother to make it better...?

Oh well I wasn't a fan of Smash Service anyway.

 

[BloodBird]

I make my own stages, pictures, and replays, and i got lots of em, I hope to get a Dazzle soon to put them on youtube.

 

[Sosuke]

Who does this anyway? >.>


Buy yeah, thats random.
They either got lazy or people started messing with it and Nintendo got mad or something.

 

[Knyaguy]

I'm not too bothered by it. If I wanted to see a cool stage or some pictures I could come here and download it. But that kind of stuff does not intrest me. Hopefully now they could try and improve Brawl's online.

This.

I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

 

[ndayday]

I don't think I ever submitted anything anyway. Oh well.

I submitted a lot. Used to anyway. Never saw any of it featured. Then, I gave up.

Yeah right. I'd love to see it, but this step isn't toward better online service.

I still don't get the friend code thing. They say it's so you can play only with people you trust. 49 out of 50 times, people get their friend codes from the internet, filled with millions of people you don't know. Why, Nintendo, WHY?!

[megajosh2]

Oh well, we still have AiB for that. Lol

 

[Brawler1432]

If you ask me I say here are some options:

A)They never planned it for very long, they just had certain number of submissions they wanted before closing the submissions

B) Nintendo is just too lazy, and maybe they don't think smash is really worth backing anymore


C) they plan on announcing Smash Bros 4 at E3 (odd timing if not) and they want to stop SSBB support.

I don't think they would have two smash games on one console. It's never been done before, but we'll see.

About the topic, I never go online unless it's to fight friends who are never there, so no huge loss.

...

lol

But seriously, that would never happen. After all of the time put into Brawl, they wouldn't go and make another Smash game a year later.

... How about the fact that it has become extremely unpopular and there's no point in keeping it up now? Laziness is the least likely of reasons that were named.

This.

The casual have long since moved on, and the core never cared to begin with.
