<tabber>
|-|Nintendo 3DS=
<p>Nimbus allows for switching between Pretendo and Nintendo Networks.

While on the Pretendo Network, launch a [https://games.pretendo.zip supported game] to play online with other Pretendo users.</p>
<p>Some features, notably Pretendo's Miiverse replacement Juxtaposition, will require a PNID to function. A PNID is a unique identifier, functioning the same as Nintendo's NNIDs. To create a PNID open '''System Settings''' -> '''Nintendo Network ID Settings'''. Alternatively, [https://pretendo.network/account/register register for an account] using the Pretendo website, and then link an existing PNID instead. Currently, accounts created from the website will have dummy account info, it's recommended creating it from the console at this time. It's possible to change the account information from a Wii U.</p>
<p>Launching Nintendo Badge Arcade on Pretendo servers will remove the official badges as it is still unsupported by Pretendo, currently it's not recommended to open the Badge Arcade app.</p>
