The recent server downtime of Nintendo’s eShop and internet services on the Wii U and the 3DS is the latest of a long line of Nintendo’s poor planning issues that has been plaguing them for a while. The debut of Miiverse on the 3DS would have put a large load on their servers and the Poke Bank was the breaking point when it was released in Japan which officially melted down their servers. From consoles launches to game software release dates – these has been pattern of poor planning and predictions of common sense in the future by CEO Satora Iwata.
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
Pac-Pix launched in 2005 as a Nintendo DS exclusive, and deserves to make a comeback on modern touchscreen devices.
INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
Nintendo is still a long way from overcoming their corporate culture that keeps them from adapting to the new market...
Poor planning leads to incompetency.
I had issues for a day or two but everything is working fine now. I don't see how this came up as poor planning? Didn't GTA5 get plagued with these same issues? Large amounts of people trying to sign in at once? Would it seem like poor planning for Sony to always get hacked? S*** happens guys. If its down for a few days it just means we need patience for Nintendo to sort this out. NOT the end of the world. I do feel bad for the people picking up there consoles and having sign issues. You can still play single player games till it's back up.
Are we all forgetting everyone else's Christmas downtime?
Anyway, I somewhat agree with the article. I mean, as well as this, Flipnote Studio 3D has been delayed for MONTHS and MONTHS just because the servers aren't ready to support everyone...
I'm no tech genius, but I think that a company as big as Nintendo can work this out...
All off the big 3 have been having server issues, and yet somehow this is being spun into yet another doom and gloom article on nintendo?
Wow,i guess that one article was telling the truth; nintendo bashing has become some sort of sick fad.-_-;;
