Disconnected gamers to be replaced with bots in Super Smash Bros Brawl

Faulty Wi-Fi connections pose no problems at all with Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii. In the game’s multiplayer mode, disconnected gamers gets replaced by “bots” who takes their place to avoid a “brawl” from ending abruptly.

If you normally play your favorite games well into the morning, then Super Smash Bros. Brawl may just be the game for you. Why? Because of the game’s bot feature for multiplayer “With Anyone” games.

As Nintendo’s latest offering for the Wii up for release in February, next year, Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be playable online in both single and multiplayer modes. Here, gamers who get disconnected  for one reason or another or opts to momentarily log-out are conveniently replaced with “bots” – computer-controlled AI that takes the place of these players in order for the game to continue.
