I think we really took Miiverse's implementation in various Wii U games for granted. It really gave each game a sense of community and never felt like you were the only one playing. Seeing the WaraWara Plaza filled with Miis again is awesome. I'm glad that Pretendo brought life back into the Wii U again.

[@HandsomeBee9352]

Your kinda right. To be honest I’m not sure if im the only one who feels this but sometimes when playing single player games on Wii or Wii U I feel lonely. Any kind of communication makes games feel less lonely for me, whether it’s just me on the phone while playing single player game or other people writing messages that pop up give it a sense of lively hood. On the Wii they never really had any communication rather that just online which has been completely demolished. I don’t have a pc so I don’t have Wii online and won’t have Wii U online or pretendo so when I play Wii it’s still kinda lonely but I’m still very happy to see the archive of the Wii U.

[@legoboy7107]

What I'm concerned about is...will enough Wii U owners mod their Wii Us and set this up for online multiplayer in Splatoon 1 to actually have a large enough playerbase to be viable? It's not like Mario Kart Wii Wiimfi which is one of the best selling games of all time on one of the best selling consoles of all time, so that even if only a fraction of users homebrewed their Wiis and set up Wiimfi it was still plenty large enough to be viable. But with this it's the opposite given how poorly the Wii U sold and Splatoon just not having the same massive appeal as Mario Kart. But if that ends up not being an issue, this will be great! I just got a Wii U like 3 months ago for an absolute STEAL on Ebay so I could finally play Splatoon 1 in its last days (despite having 2 and 3) and it's been a total blast, but not only that, but apparently the Wii U I got was one that came bundled with a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 pre-installed, which was NOT in the ebay description (again, got it for an absolute steal, cheaper than most other options I saw), so hey, a free copy of Mario Kart 8 Wii U as well was great! So it's great to hear that the fanmade online for both is working well so that these can be preserved! Just, again, I'm hoping enough people actually set it up for it to be really usable.

[@ogolow570]

The Japanese player base which is like half of our community is going to take a nose dive

[@legoboy7107]

@@ogolow570 Yeah exactly. I wonder how many of them would actually be willing to just set up Pretendo.

We'll see in a month's time. Hoping for the best

[@theotherjared9824]

The closest thing to pretendo on the market right now is fightcade, so we can look at that. Any game reaching 1000 concurrent players is a miracle, and all but the most popular games typically are at 0 players. That being said, even 100 players is enough to make a solid match in most games, and the people willing to jump through the hopes to get this working are dedicated enough to always be up for another match.

Scared for the paid service. We all know what nintendo thinks about paid programs that aren't theirs...

[@ggnicklu]

I'm very excited about this and commend them for the work they're doing. One thing does worry me though. We've recently seen Nintendo shut down the distribution of yuzu and citra. One thing that some speculate caused this, was the fact they monetized it by having a patreon. The fact that some features are locked behind a paywall in Pretendo makes me concerned that Nintendo might go after them as well. Just a thought tho, the service looks great. Edit: developer response in the replies, check it out.

[@jondbarrow]

Thank you for the concern! I'm the lead developer over at Pretendo. We have taken every precaution possible to ensure we don't step on Nintendo's toes, and Nintendo does already know we exist :) we strongly believe if Nintendo wanted us gone, we would be gone by now (we just reached 7 years of development)

@@jondbarrowCan you chip in on what OP means by features being locked behind a paywall? Which features are those? Edit: Oops, its quite quickly explained in the video. No features originally on the service will be paid on Pretendo though correct?

[@KyleDavis328]

I'm pretty certain the biggest things was that the patreon sub was required to play the TotK leak on Yuzu. That's one thing that was specifically emphasized in the lawsuit as evidence towards the group's encouragement of piracy. Citra was caught in the crossfire because it was mostly the same core group of people as Yuzu

[@KaitheFoox]

Yuzu was taken down due to guides to decrypt Switch games, their Patreon was a mention because it was being used as proof that they were profiting of this "illegal decryption." which means they stole revenue from Nintendo due to piracy. Online services cost money to run, and there's no aspect to pretendo that enables piracy, so they likely wouldn't be targeted because Nintendo has no profit loss by allowing them to exist. In fact, it would give them a more valid reason to cut their Online Services because it's one less thing they will have to pay for.

[@coneg2714]

i think the paywall thing is being misconstrued by people; it was mentioned in nintendo's case along with the fact that +1 million downloads for tears of the kingdom happened pre-release. that's not saying nintendo hates software developer patreons, that's saying "these people financially benefited off the Actual Crime (piracy) and have enough of a paper trail that they seem to condone piracy" running fan made servers doesn't have any direct link to software piracy and i'm sure the pretendo team is messaging the service as a way to keep people's legitimately owned copies of games playable; they should be fine

That would be impossible without it linking to a completely separate app on Switch because there is no way Nintendo is going to allow Bank on Pretendo to connect to official Nintendo Network on Switch. The only solution imo at least would be save editing, or have a separate app where they go to a general hub and then u can somehow transfer them into the games via that app (would be hb only obviously), but the app would also have to register the mons the same way Home would when a Bank to Home transfer is done so they are not flagged incorrectly.

It's front and center, the most important thing right now to finish. This service also seriously needs more active players. There are plenty who want to use Juxtaposition, but there are very few people who play online, which leads to being unable to really play any game.

Region locking is the stupidiest thing the industry still does every now and then

[@joshhorn8283]

The online service for the Nintendo Switch won’t be the same!

[@Kipper6464]

It's cool that fans are keeping WII U and 3DS online alive but don't let Nintendo find out ok.

[@ahmedrizwan7235]

Are Pokemon games support? Or not yet? Through what gens if yes

[@davidhill8565]

If Nintendo files a cease and desist letter against Pretendo, the Kyoto-based firm will have nothing to gain from that action.

the homebrew community never ceases to amaze me

You had me at Kid Icarus: Uprising

Pretendo is looking amazing~ Having even functionality beyond what was there in Nintendo Network! However, I kind of hope some kind of version, or support for Pokemon bank and poketransporter … Do you think they’d add such thing? I believe for home brew there’s some pkmn app, but I mean the official ones, so that we could transfer our pokemon from old ds games to x&y or s&m and betweeen x&y, s&m, and us&um as it was intended~

2 games that really need the Pretendo treatment are Mario vs Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars for 3DS & WiiU. Using Miiverse to give/receive points/exp to/from other players was necessary in order for players to progress through the game.

I'm really glad the community will do what Nintendon't

[@windwakin]

I love this, but with the paid tiers I’m so worried Nintendo will kill this like they did Yuzu and Citra

[@Auberry0m0]

i really wanna know if flipnote 3d will work

[@ShwintyKat]

I really hope nintendo doesnt strike them

[@ZenithMusicNet]

As long as Pretendo doesn't reverse engineer or infringe on copyrighted work, I think they're safe. Besides that, Nintendo shutting down their online services proves it's no longer commercially viable for them.

5:05 Balloony!!!

[@RedMage8BT]

Homebrew does what Nintendon't

[@Hypershell]

Wait, wait... Fan servers already restored Miiverse?! I've got some catching up to do!

[@FarekWad]

Can someone explain to me how the mario maker creator history works? "user1" would have the same Nintendo account from back on wiiU and then have the same ID and account on switch, right? Do technically, (if they cared) Nintendo could link the user's "maker history" to catagorize what they made in Mario maker 1 and 2. Right?

[@degeneratecollector9950]

Ur intro is absolutely ridiculous 😂

[@doubleytcool]

finally I'll be able to play minecraft online in 2024
