Have they? And do you think they would consider using them for MK8 and Smash 4?

Probably not and I doubt it... Although it does seem like their answer is to ban people with shit internet connection

Apparent Call of Duty Ghosts, of all games, has dedicated servers on the Wii U. Not a Nintendo title, but still.

Sigh... Nintendo is always late to everything.

dedicated servers are so 00s, CLOUD IS THE FUTURE!!!!

Really? Well, that's.. Interesting. I didn't expected that game to have dedicated servers on the Wii U.

Apparently noboby of you you guys have a clue what a server is.

Are you speaking about physical host systems? (thats really very 00s ^_^)
Are you speaking about a dedicated Server OS running only ONE Server Service for ONE Game?
Are you speaking about a piece of Software designed to service ONE Game?

point 2 may be one of 50 VMs running on a Hypervisor Server in a Virtualisation Cluster. The VM may, or may not, be considered a dedicated server since a Server is always a piece of Software, and not Hardware. For Hardware please refer to Hosts in the future.

Or we do?

Dedicated servers just refer to a multiplayer game hosting the match on a server verses one of the players being used as the host.

I know right? I don't get why people have to needlessly complicate things?

Wait, really? o.O
