Pretendo is an open-source project that aims to recreate Nintendo Network for the 3DS and Wii U. This includes but is not limited to, game servers, Miiverse, friends-lists, and more.

Installation

For 3DS, Nimbus is available on Universal-Updater. For Wii U, Inkay is available on the Aroma Updater app and website or on the Homebrew App Store. Manual installation instructions for 3DS, Wii U, and Cemu can be found on the Pretendo website here.

Usage

Nimbus allows for switching between Pretendo and Nintendo Networks. To use Nimbus, launch it from the HOME Menu or the Homebrew Launcher, and select either Pretendo or Nintendo to switch between the two networks. While on the Pretendo Network, launch a supported game to play online with other Pretendo users.

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, 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.

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.
