problems with connecting to the nintendo wifi on wii? For the past two days, I have been unable to connect to the nintendo wifi for mario kart wii. i looked up the error codes and they all came up with the same thing (61010). i did the trouble shooting tips and alas - still no wifi mario kart. everything else that involves an internet connectivity works fine (wii shop, mii channel).

Mario Kart is giving me a error message also, 91010 mainly. This is mainly due to nintendo’s servers being overloaded with unexpected volume of people logging in. I would put the blame on Mario Kart because of its unanticipated hit success.

I would think Nintendo will put putting more servers up and adjusting the servers over time but I really think that this just goes to show that Wii is doing much better than they had thought for online users.

It’s a server error (their fault not yours) and it is, I’m afraid, the price of popularity.

With Mario Kart only just released, a LOT of people are trying to get online to play and this is hammering their servers and they can’t take the strain.

You would think though with all the profits they have made they could make their online server stronger.

Try again in a couple of hours and see if it works then - we are all in the same boat, and no one can connect.

It’s probably because of them launching the first Mario Kart worldwide competition today too and everyone trying to submit their times.
