Nintendo Wi-Fi Problems

Joystiq reports on the large scale outages that marked Nintendos Wi-Fi rollout yesterday.  


Nintendo’s WFC experiences growing pains

We’ve been hearing from readers who’ve been unable to get their online Mario Kart fix since about 3pm today!

Luckily, the problems seem to be fixed now and I was actually able to race a few times before work.  Maybe this will finally prove to Nintendo that people do want to play online...  :-D

BTW, the setup is simple (although, I had to downgrade my security from WPA to WEP :-(), and Mario Kart is very addictive.  Only real issue I have so far is I haven't figured out how to exit an online game.  (ie. after racing a series it automaticly puts me back into a series with the same racers...).  I'll have to RTFM on that one.

I'll be with you by Christmas. My folks will probobly get me the "Red Hot" bundle. Looks like a blast.

It's a blast.  IMHO, the best Mario Kart since the SNES original.   The multiplayer is rather simple (no chat, etc.) but it's free and working.  Once you get setup we can schedule a couple of races.

BTW, I'm also looking forward to the DS Animal Crossing.  Looks like fun.
