Topic: Splatoon - OT

30 mins of 'Searching for a battle to join...' and counting. This is nuts. I was able to play in all 3 sessions of the first test fire without any problem

Just seen Nintendo Life tweet saying Nintendo has issued statement that there high level of traffic!

Well duh!

If can't cope with this hows gonna be when game comes out! :/

Of course this happened the one time I was able to play. Only got to play one match in Turf War, but I've played a lot of Squid Jump.

The traffic level is so high that there are people that cannot join matches, this can't be looking good for when the game comes out. Release day will be mayhem.

On the other hand, it could be just because the whole world are playing within this hour. Release day, the playing times could be more spread out because certain parts of the world will be night time.
This is probably going to be the worst time to play after the game comes out because: Japan it will be early morning. US will be afternoon/evening. UK/Europe will be late/midnight.

I wonder if they saw it went so well last time, they tried reducing the servers this time to see if they could save money when the game launches. We have to remember, this was a test on their servers, for Nintendo's benefit, and not really for ours.

I had the same issue with trying to join a battle. I couldn't get into one, looks like it may be just like Smash Brawl on Wii all over again.

Aw Twitter is alight with bad vibes right now!

Nintendo this isn't the kind of publicity you need right now!

Still failing to connect to partner's device. Been like that since 6:10, worked ok before. Odd how the last 3 test fires before worked with no problem but this one fails. Guess I have to wait till after it's over to see if it affected everyone or just some, which is right about.... Now.

well, that was disappointing... first 20 minutes i got connection errors, next 15 minutes i couldn't get on a server because they were full and the rest was spent searching for a battle to join only to end in partner device errors. About as exciting as watching paint dry (or the Eurovision songcontest)

Seem like it start working 2 minutes after I posted. Playing right now.

It's been extended get on it NOW!

It's working for love of God ITS WORKING!

Aye...it is!!! )))

The online servers are still up and they're actually working now!!!

8 matches so far, only lost once, got 5 first places and just 2 normal wins.

I just played a couple of rounds and there was some serious lag. I used the roller in one and the splattershot in the other and would sit there shooting or rolling the ground and it wouldn't change color for a couple of seconds at least. It may have at least been working, but not well.

Oh been working very smoothly for me

Alright add three more matches, got a 1st place and two normal wins.

And just finished with one more 1st place win!, I'm pretty interested in the game now, will probably get.

I jumped over a roller like Nintendo suggested and got a few kills when using the Splatcharger and when using a roller against another roller, I jumped so that I could take them out and not get splatted.
