I've played Mario Kart DS, StarFox Assault, and Tetris DS online and have fully enjoyed all of them. Your logic is so flawed it's laughable. You refuse to play these games online because you feel they're too restrictive. It's like saying you don't want an ice cream sundae because there are no nuts on it.
Why not put more emphasis on what is there, instead of shunning it for what is not?
GR also makes a valid point. While all of the games on that list are big titles, Brawl is, far and away, Nintendo's multiplayer powerhouse. The game that people will buy Wii's for. The game that, years from now, will still feel fresh, just as Melee before it has. Nintendo knows that this is the biggest title that they have in their arsenal and probably one of the most anticipated games the Wii will ever see.
Now then, if they're implementing online play in the marginally entertaining Mario soccer franchise they started only one game ago, I have no reason to believe they won't for Brawl. Nintendo is coming around on online gaming, slowly but surely. They don't "hate" it anymore, they're just not as gung ho about it as Sony and Microsoft are. Doesn't look to me like it's hurting Nintendo's sales much...
If Brawl is not online, there will be a reason. Not "if it turns out to be hard they'll just drop it without trying at all because they really don't care". That's probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard you say. And I've been here a long time :D.
