Forums - Nintendo - Splatoon Testfire (Demo) Currently "Crashed Fired"! [Update: Nintendo Did Us BetterWith an Extended Hour!]

I'm loving this free tryout of Squid Jump. I got up to level 17.

still can't connect. it should have been my first time to play the demo. :(



I would have liked being able to play, but at least it's a good stress test and gives Nintendo a chance to prevent issues at launch!

How in the world did this happen?

The first three testfires worked flawlessly, now this?



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Yep, i think last time it didnt happen because Nintendo gave us 3 different times. So people was able to choose which one they can and cant go on. While this one has only one time/one hour.

+ with all the ads happening, it looks like more Wii U owners wanted to try

Great stuff


Maybe this was Nintendos masterplan to see if they had enough server capacity under high load.....turns out they didn't.:P



I belive this testfire was meant for people to play the squid-jump minigame and get better at it

Chill out. These testfires were made to make the final product better. Now Nintendo knows to make the servers bigger for launch.

You're getting upset for nothing.
