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


Nah, that was cause gamespy handled all their Wii Network stuff, minus the store of course

Nope. The WiFi-Connection shutdown was more of a "decission aid".

Those servers are far from being able to handle any MK8 load as the number of voice streams will "explode". 

Also the Wii-Shop servers are still online as you can still download your purchases or transfer a Wii's content to a new Wii U. THAT might be really a weak spot when the Wii U MK8 bundles sells like crazy and people won't test Mario Kart as the first thing ...

The irony of the reply... the actual Wii U sold numbers on the site

Ah. Thats the reason why Online is free on Wii and Wii U: Nintendo has stellar network code and their backends are so efficient that 3 of their servers could handle load where Microsoft and Sony need hundreds of them...

 

This inefficient also explains why those "For the players"-Gakai-PS3-Streaming can't be seen anywhere on a PS4...

Doubt it, they only use matchmaking servers, all gameplay is p2p.


Can you prove that?

 

I can prove that you ONLY need to open OUTGOING PORTS on the router the Wii U is connected with.

 

So it CAN'T BE P2P. No Way.

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.


Nintendo WiFi Connection is going down May 20th. Gamespy, whose servers were running the thing, is shutting down all their online server stuff for games by the 31st. Nintendo can't use their tech anymore.

Damn, they were caught up in the Gamespy server takedown too? That sucks. I hope they keep the servers up for the older Pokemon games somehow, I doubt it though :(
