Error Codes Plague Brawl Online



Have you found yourself, over the past couple days, alone at three in the morning, GameCube controller still in hand, ready for more Brawl, although your friends all went home? You may have been tempted by that Nintendo Wi-Fi option -- which may or may not have resulted in you seeing the screen pictures above. Us here at QPHQ have exhaustively researched the error code, only to find out it means, according to Nintendo, "Our experience shows that error messages within this range are typically caused by temporary network issues with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. If there is a problem with the network, our technician's will work to get the service back up as soon as possible. Please retry your connection later."

Sooooo, in so many words, sit on your ass and keep waiting. It might work soon. Thanks, Nintendo! Apparently the option for connecting directly to friends has been working without pause and as far as the Spectator Mode goes, it works flawlessly -- if your only interest is betting on other peoples' matches. The few online matches we have been able to get working have been lag ridden messes, which we'll attribute to the huge amount of people trying to play online at the same time. Still, not an excuse, just an explanation. How about y'all out there in the middle of these giant, interconnected tubes? Any luck?

Same situation here.
Better start saving up coinage for those bets!
