Forums - Gaming - Mario Strikers Charged grinds Nintendo's network to a halt

Wouldn't surprise me. They might also be under DDOS attacks. Expect it to be fixed within a couple of days - this is the sort of thing that money can fix quickly. Are Nintendo doing this inhouse, or through a 3rd-party? GameSpy? Anyone know? I hope they eventually move all of this in-house...

hopefully Nintendo is looking into this when they start making more online games. Seems that they are in high demand. Better get crackin' guys, there are a lot of Nintendo franchises waiting for online.

 Well Nintendo games are always in high demand, but once you add online well, there is just no stopping them

 

Strikers will be another Nintendo million seller without a doubt

 This is insane. Another million seller for Nintendo that's a first party? How much money does Nintendo make on each game?!

Jeez, I mean Strikers wasn't even supossed to be a huge game (opposed to Prime/Brawl/Galaxy). Add those to the fact that they profit off the hardware and you got a huge amount of income. Oh wait, almost forgot about the DS, there's a few bucks there as well.

//really should have invested in Nintendo 



Mario Party is going to do pretty well too. Probably not great launch numbers, but I can see it selling consistently over months and years.



Too bad it didn't get better reviews.

What did get good reviews?

Mario Strikers:
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/935184.asp

Currently at 73% (4 reviews) - and that's primarily thanks to Edge (who reviewed the game without online play, etc..). Otherwise its had two 8's, and one 7. Lets wait until it gets a decent number of reviews before we judge it.

Also, both the guys at IGN and Penny Arcade have spoken highly of strikers.

....

Mario Party however is getting better reviews, although its also still early:

(currently at 87%, with a 8.3 & 9.0)

I was afraid that would happen. Every time a new channel is launched I have a horrible time getting any online action out of the Wii. I usually can't even download the channel for a day or so.



I'm not surprised. Typical NOE handling. They says they had 100k connections first day. I don't know how much sales this amounts to.
