Nintendo still trying to deal with connection issues surrounding Splatoon
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 8 Comments
Splatoon’s latest update has been causing issues for some users. While some players have been able to overcome them with a few simple steps, others haven’t been as lucky and have continued to experience problems.
There is at least a small bright spot with this situation. After a fan contacted customer support late last week, Nintendo acknowledged that Splatoon’s latest update has affected players’ connections. The representative mentioned, “this has been identified and escalated to our Head Office, and we are looking to ensure that this is resolved and that our servers are stabilised within the next few days.”
Here’s the full message from Nintendo customer support:
Thank you for your email to Nintendo.
I am sorry to read that you are continuing to experience an issue with your connection on Splatoon online.
We can confirm that due to the update that has occurred, some people are still having their connection affected. However this has been identified and escalated to our Head Office, and we are looking to ensure that this is resolved and that our servers are stabilised within the next few days.
We would recommend for you to continue trying over the weekend to see if you notice any improvements in the connection. We sincerely apologise for any upset or inconvenience that this issue has caused to you.
If you have any further questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thanks to John for the tip.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Videos, Wii U | 7 Comments
Update: NIS America just sent out an official announcement regarding the game’s delay. It’s coming on November 10 in North America and November 13 in Europe. In the announcement, NIS America cited “ongoing technical difficulties”, and with the extra time, they hope to “give players the best experience possible”.
NIS America has confirmed Rodea: The Sky Soldier’s second western delay – at least in Europe. It’s now slated for release sometime during the first two weeks of November. We don’t have the official word on this yet, but it’s likely that the delay pertains to North America as well given recent retailer listings.
Footage from Rodea: The Sky Soldier’s English build is posted below. The video is based on the Wii U version of the game.
