Servers crash on May 30th ?

Yes, Mk8 servers 74 41.11%
 
No 69 38.33%
 
Nintendo Network on Wii u... 18 10.00%
 
Doom 17 9.44%
 
Total:178

Seems to be the trend on big launches,  servers crashing and not being able to play online on day 1. Will the great Nintendo share the same fate and will their servers go down on Mario Kart 8 launch day??

No i don't think.. It would be very bad pr..

They know how many WiiU are online and how many MK they sell (at most)



They removed the servers for all those Wii games to be prepared for that single WiiU game so it will work out :)



It might, depending on how prepared their severs will be.



I doubt it, didn't they shut down Wii servers just a couple of weeks ago? I'm sure some of those will go towards this launch.

I hope not - although i only intend to play after i finish the game.
On the other hand it means there will be a lot of people really going for the online part. Which is good.



It will be great for Nintendo cause they will know its selling well, it will be shit for us cause we will have dial-up download speeds

Possible, but I doubt there will be enough people online to cause a major server crash. Unless they're woefully unprepared, ofcourse.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I would not be surprised if they were unprepared.



Nintendo has learned to SCALE after the christmas debacle. They can setup within a MINUTE new servers. I guess they might even use Amazon EC2 for this.

They are prepared. The only weak spot I could think of is the actual selling process within the eShop.

The bandwidth hungry task of providing eShop downloads - Nintendo seems to be pretty shure they can handle that. Otherwise they won't offer a demo. So they can handle also the actual payed content delivery.

On the gaming side MK8 is a mostly "harmless" besides the voice chats. But these can be calculated and as all streams of a private game could be handled on one server - this scales also very well.

No question - it will be the toughest release for Nintendo in their history. But I'm confident that Nintendo will be able to handle that and give us the best MK 8 buying and gaming experience possible.
