The '''Nintendo Network''' was Nintendo's online service for the [[Nintendo_3DS_emulators#Hardware_features|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii_U_emulators#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|Wii U]], which provides online functionality for the systems and their compatible games.

The service was shut down on 8 April 2024, making it impossible to play games online.

==Emulation==

Emulation of Nintendo Network is possible with revived private server projects, an open-source project that aims to recreate Nintendo Network for the 3DS and Wii U using clean-room reverse engineering.

~~Emulation of Nintendo Network is possible with [https~~:~~//pretendo~~.network/#~~about Pretendo~~]~~: Open~~-~~source project that aims to recreate Nintendo Network~~ for ~~the~~ 3DS and Wii U ~~using clean-room reverse engineering. Pretendo supports any client~~ that ~~can interact with~~ Nintendo Network.

*For Wii U: Cemu 2.0 officially supports revived private server projects under your network account options in the emulator, for information on how to get started with Cemu.

*For 3DS: Most of [[Nintendo_3DS_emulators#Emulators|Citra forks]] supports revived private server projects. Currently most software has incomplete support/work-in-progress.

*See [[Preservation_projects|Preservation projects]] page for more information about other revive projects. Also see [[Talk:Preservation_projects#Adding_new_titles_to_private_game_servers_section|3DS and Wii U games that support the Nintendo Network online connection and revived ones]].

~~Currently the only emulator with this kind~~ of ~~functionality is Cemu~~. ~~Cemu 2.0 officially supports Pretendo under your network account options in~~ the ~~emulator. For information on how~~ to ~~get started~~ with ~~Cemu~~, ~~check out~~ the [~~https://pretendo.network/docs/install/cemu documentation~~].

==Shutdown==

The service is shutdown as of April 8, 2024. The only way to play online again on the Nintendo 3DS system is to use revived private server projects (requires a jailbroken 3DS with boot9strap and Luma3DS custom firmware), or the Wii U version, the Wii U home console can be modded—using the Aroma homebrew environment—to use revived private server projects to its fullest capability, or you can use the SSSL method without having to modify the console but with limited features.

:See [[#Emulation]] section for more information, Also see [[Preservation_projects|Preservation projects]] page for more information about other revive projects.

*Currently [https://pretendo.network/progress#juxtaposition-(miiverse) Juxtaposition working on Citra for Pretendo support]. [[Mikage]] may provide support in the future though this is far from certain.

==Nintendo eShop==

*There is a ~~[https://github.com/PabloMK7/citra/releases Citra fork for online multiplayer support], currently it only supports connecting to~~ Nintendo Network~~, but support~~ for ~~Pretendo Network will come eventually~~.

The Nintendo eShop is a digital distribution service via the Nintendo Network for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. eShop served as the successor to both the [[Nintendo_Wi-Fi_Connection|Wii Shop Channel]] and DSi Shop.

*See [[~~Preservation_projects~~|~~Preservation projects~~]] ~~page for more information about other revive projects~~.

~~==Shutdown==~~

*Azahar includes new features not present in other [[Citra#Forks|Citra forks]], such as the ability to download owned games from the Nintendo eShop.

~~The service will be shutdown by April 8~~, ~~2024~~
