Has Nintendo ever used dedicated servers?

They released a wireless system that makes you pay more if you want to hook it up wired, which most people will not do. Why bother with dedicated servers when they failed out the gate doing that?

I found it rather funny they actually told people in the SSB direct they should use a wired ethernet adapter for SSB on WiiU in order to not lag...sucks for anyone on a 3DS I guess? I mean what was their message there?

A game like SSB is better done P2P than dedicated servers, assuming had a good connection.

And a weird thing is that I have a ping of ~29ms wireless on speedof.me and ~50ms with the LAN adapter...

But the LAN adapter on my PC only has ~2-3ms more than RJ45 (~25 vs. ~27/28)

Maybe speedof.me is messed up, but it's the only testing site that I found that shows the latency on Wii U.
