The Nintendo Network was Nintendo's online service for the Nintendo 3DS and 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 without the use of Pretendo
Emulation[edit]
Emulation of Nintendo Network is possible with Pretendo, an 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.
- 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 documentation.
- Currently most software has incomplete support, for actively maintained list see the official progress page.
- There is a Citra fork for online multiplayer support, currently it only supports connecting to Nintendo Network, but support for Pretendo Network will come eventually.
- See Preservation projects page for more information about other revive projects.
Shutdown[edit]
The service is shutdown as of April 8, 2024. The only way to play online again on the Nintendo 3DS system is to use Pretendo (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 Pretendo 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 page for more information about other revive projects.
