End of Nintendo WFC. Private servers take over!
« on: May 15, 2014, 06:12:28 pm »
Some really cool guys managed to set up servers for nintendo wfc games, so we can still play our online games even after nintendo shuts down the servers!
You need to register before it's too late! (You got until monday I think)

They don't want too much server load. This measure ensures a limited amount of people use the service. In the future they won't have to bring in new gear because the load will not increase over time.

Yeah, no point in them taking down the Wii U and 3DS network. Only those for the Wii and DS have been put offline.

Well, I wouldn't have been surprised if they did for the Wii U, because the console is selling poorly and there were rumors earlier this year that Nintendo might discontinue it one year from now if it continues doing so. Heck, the new SSB is coming out on both 3DS and Wii U (although both versions are different). It's a sign that they know the game won't sell more Wii U's.

I doubt the Wii U will be the next Virtual Boy (which got discontinued only 6 months after launch) but it will probably be their second worst selling console of all time at this rate.

Actually that's wrong. Nintendo licenses are coming to the U now and the sales are picking up again. The reason why it started so slow is due to really poor marketing. People were apparently not even aware that there was a new console. When it was first announced, most thought it was just a new Wii accessory, and the name has to be blamed for that.

If they made a smash bros bundle without the gamepad but with two pro controllers that would be awesome. I think a lot of people are turned off by it. They should have made it optional from the start. Gimmicks won't necessarily get people to buy a console. Microsoft decided to rip the kinect out of the xbox one in order to lower its price. Maybe nintendo will have to do the same with the wiiU.
