Today and yesterday, there have been VERY annoying issues with wifi for mario kart and brawl. I've been getting error codes 61010 and 61070 for an hour or so, and it's not my connection's problem as the nintendo website says. I can't connect to eifi. is anyone else having this problem?

Sounds like they might be tweaking the system for Kart.

The game has worked great right from the start. If problems were going to happen it would have happened when the game was released.

Yeah, I've been having nothing but trouble, as well. Hopefully Nintendo is working hard to clear up these issues, because right now things aren't so good. I can't even connect to the WFC to add friends on Mario Kart. Blah.

Well Smash Bros had problems for the first 2-3 weeks of release in the US. But after that things got much better.

It's been working most of the time for me. But what really sucks is when all of a sudden my connection dropped halfway through a race...and so I lost points. It's just cause there are so many people on the servers right now...

I've been having problems since Monday as well. I can actually get into matches today but I have yet to finish one. As another poster stated, I lose points for not finishing the matches so that sucks.

You're right.... kind of. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with phone lines or orange tarps, but it seems like the entire Nintendo WiFi Connection service is down, including for the DS. If it isn't fixed soon, I'd expect an announcement in their tech support forums.

Yea im pretty sure the whole wifi server is down, I punched in my error code at nintendo's website [i think it was 61010] and it said something about their server being down. hopefully they can get it cleared up soon. My kart and brawl experience have been pretty much flawless especially mario kart, that is wifi done right.

Yeah it's happening with me too. When I DO connect it takes a while to find someone in kart, and then just says lost connection... Is this happening with all Nintendo WFC games? Nintendo might be tweaking the servers like Jaysonguy said.

Well I was finally able to connect to Mario Kart Wii for the first time today. I'm just searching for Worldwide VS. opponents which will take a while considering how few have been able to connect.

Oh you're kidding me

The service I pay not 50 dollars a year for isn't working???

I expect this up and running soon or I want a full reimbursement

Alright, all morning now I am getting the 61010 error code on MKWii. I had this issue a 2 nights ago, just assumed the server was overloaded with players. There can't be that many people trying to get on in the AM like this. I hope Nintendo gets this fixed quick.
