Nintendo Surprised People Actually Bought a Wii U for Christmas after Wii U Servers Go Offline

With so many people trying to access the Wii U online services, it appears that the entire system has gone offline. No one is more surprised than Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata who thought no one would actually buy a Wii U for Christmas.so3peopleareaffectedIwata learned of the problem after trying to play the Wii U with his family on Christmas. After learning from employees that the servers actually went down due to the high amounts of traffic, Iwata allegedly equated this with a “Christmas miracle.”

“He started crying,” recalled an employee who wishes to remain anonymous, “He thought that no one would actually buy a Wii U for Christmas let alone actually use it on Christmas day. That, he said, is proof that there is a God looking out for him.”

“After trying to calm him down for thirty minutes, he then asked if people were actually buying games too,” continued the employee, “I did not know off-hand whether or not people were, so I just said that they must have bought something to use the console with. Then he started crying again.”

We also spoke with Nintendo eShop director Kazuto Nakaya who was more than happy to talk with us.

“I am actually quite pleased to be working on the servers even if it is Christmas day,” said Nakaya, “We have not touched the servers at all since we set them up about a year ago. This is the first time we have ever experienced a problem because of people actually using the system. In fact, it has been so long since we have looked at it, I am not sure where to begin.”

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was also surprised by the Wii U servers going offline but only learned of the problem after someone messaged him on his PlayStation 4.
