Potential Issues Arise with Possible Overload of Nintendo eShop on Launch Day of Switch 2, According to Former Marketing Directors, Despite Claims of Preparedness to Handle Anticipated Demand for Mario Kart World
Chat Time! Here's the lowdown on the Switch 2 launch this week, and everyone's wondering if the Nintendo eShop can handle the rush of gamers downloading Mario Kart World like a boss the moment the doors open. Two ex-marketing heavyweights from Nintendo, Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang, reckon that it's a wait-and-see game for the big N.
According to them, the eShop might seem like it's gonna go up in smoke with all the folks grabbing the Switch 2 console bundle download codes and transferring systems, not to mention the diehard fans re-downloading their Switch libraries. But fear not! The console's launch is spread across time zones around the world, giving the team plenty of time to plan ahead.
Kit Ellis points out that a whole bunch of dedicated folks at Nintendo of America have been gearing up for this launch since, like, forever. They're all talking about what they can do to stay in touch and handle any unexpected issues that might come up, like if the eShop somehow decides to make a run for it.
In fact, keep an eye out for "that game of Telephone," Ellis says, as the team gets ready to share updates, fixes, and general chit-chat with the rest of the world. Krysta Yang chimes in, pointing out that this communication process is called "triaging," something that usually happens during big launches like this. Expect some pretty intense conference calls for the next few days, even late at night!
If things start to go sideways, the communications team will be on hand to get the word out to the general public, letting them know what's going on and what steps they're taking to sort things out. Yang admits that they won't know exactly what's gonna happen, but they'll be ready to fix the problem or at least let people know what's going on.
So buckle up and grab your Switch 2 on Thursday, hoping for a flawless launch! If you're keen on staying in the loop, make sure to check out the latest news on Nintendo Switch 2 and upcoming games.
