News / Nintendo Network
It's over...
From April 2024, you'll be no longer able to play any Wii U or 3DS game online, and the SpotPass service will be officially shut down.
I did not expect it to come so soon, but at least Nintendo Network lasted 4 years longer than the DS.
If you want to play Splatoon 1 online from that date, you will need to have @pretendo installed on your Wii U.
This does require your Wii U to be modded if it isn't already running the Aroma environment (unfortunately there's no guides for Tiramisu).
To get your Wii U modded, for the best experience, first follow all the steps for Tiramisu on this page (it isn't required but it might be handy to have both): https://wiiu.hacks.guide.
Then, after that, you can follow the Aroma steps on this page: https://wiiu.hacks.guide/#/aroma/getting-started.
To install Pretendo Network on your Wii U, follow these steps: https://pretendo.network/docs/install/wiiu
Considering this account is geared towards Splatoon, I won't say much about the 3DS but you'll need to mod it with the Luma3DS CFW. Unfortunately, older 3DS models are currently unmoddable if they're running 11.17.0.50.
If you want to learn more about modding a 3DS, visit https://3ds.hacks.guide.
Once you've installed CFW, visit Pretendo's guide https://pretendo.network/docs/install/3ds.
I guess it's finally time to get the rest of my Wii U modded and install Pretendo onto my 3DS.

I will be making a newsletter post later on, because I feel like a post here is not going to be substantial enough with the 1500 character limit and Pretendo's limited compatibility with Splatoon atm (Splatfests and Public Battles do not work).
If you have a decent knowledge of the Wii U and 3DS, Pretendo does have a GitHub at https://github.com/PretendoNetwork where you might be able to help out.
