A note for y'all who wanna try Pretendo: Recently, they've announced plans to rewrite large chunks of their backends, with some bits already being deployed. Overall, Splatoon has recieved enough improvements of its own on top of this that make the experience much more stable than before. Genuinely, this is one of the best times to get into this.
The new reworked Splatoon back-end is already being tested in production, they're just waiting for a PR after fixing some kinks in order to get it up in production
I'm somewhat new to Splatoon, only really getting into it after public matches were available on Pretendo. Trying to go against some of y'all Splatoon veterans has been a terrifying experience lol. Absolutely having a blast, though!
I miss some of those maps and specials. I don't understand why Nintendo doesn't bring them forward to the later games, or when they do why they change them so much. A lot of what made the S1 maps fun has been removed in later games. If a Splatoon game leaves servers, you can't argue to go back and play that game. Just bring all maps to the latest game. People get really hyped when you say "EVERYONE IS HERE!" Splatoon 4 reveal trailer: EVERY MAP AND SPECIAL IS HERE!!!
I agree with bringing all maps to S4 (untouched), just leave some of the specials behind like ink armor, bubbler, stingray, tenta missles, and killer wail. Chainable, invincibility, and global specials tend to be extreme and not healthy for the game long term, because devs have to rework, buff, and nerf them. They could rework tenta missles by making it similar to super chumps by only firing missles in an area and hone in on targets inside the circle? This could make it a displacement special that isn't global range and require knowledge on were the enemies are before firing since it doesn't locate anymore, but it's more lethal than super chump.
HEY DUDE!! PLEASE KEEP MAKING MORE SPLATOON 1 VIDEOS. I'M A BRAND NEW PLAYER WHO DISCOVERED IT THROUGH YOUR VIDS AND I'D LOVE THE PRETENDO SERVERS TO BE EVEN MORE ACTIVE!!
Personally, I would still prefer if Ranked prioritized matching you with other players of a similar rank first and then started letting other ranks in if it can't find anyone to fill the room, I think that would result in the best experience overall. Unless it's already doing that.
Pretendo is so cool. I for one modded my Wii u so I can transfer my save file since I've been grinding on it for years and not hit level 50 yet. Wasn't gonna just start over when I'm so close. But at the very least I can now hear Booyahs and This Way through my TV speakers instead of my gamepad That alone was worth modding my Wii u
Ive been trying to play splatoon 1 online with my pretendo account using Cemu, but it isn't working. The game boots and everything (i 100% the story) but when I try to go into the lobby, it doesn't give me an error message and then just kicks me back into the main map area. Anybody know why?
@@dometalican1990 Not totally true from what I understand (not a lawyer nor do I know the laws about IP protection in Japan or the US) - they could at any point decide they don't like that fan servers exist and try to shut them down, but they don't have any incentive to do so. A privately owned server made freely available wouldn't be shut down unless money became involved - which isn't the case - because the IP hasn't been used in any meaningful way, just enabling the online aspects - which Nintendo aren't providing services for anymore anyway. Something like a fan game - AM2R for example - as far as I know, again not a lawyer - legally does infringe on IP, with or without compensation. Same goes for mods using an IP in another game, like GMod. Despite those being freely available (for the most part, if they aren't it's ASKING for a lawsuit) it's a toss-up on if that fan game or mod will be taken down. IP protection mostly just has to do with protecting brand image in the US - not sure about Japan law. As long as Pretendo is clear that they are not affiliated with Nintendo in any way and are providing the service for free, while IP protection might be enforceable in the US, Nintendo's brand image would be more hurt than anything if they shut down fan servers. Fan games, on the other hand, they could argue harm sales of their own releases. TL:DR; Nintendo totally could legally shut all fan servers down if they wanted to spend the time and legal fees fighting it - but their brand image would only be hurt by doing so, and their IPs are arguably not being infringed at all by free private servers, so it would be a losing battle regardless of the outcome. As long as Pretendo doesn't make money off of it and makes it clear they aren't affiliated with Nintendo, they would only be shooting themselves in the foot for taking fan servers down.
While the mixed ranks system Pretendo did are sorta interesting in concept, I feel like the execution was mediocre at best because combined with the seemingly unchanged rank points system, getting queued with three C rank players and then losing 10 to 20 points because of a single loss is so dumb.
@@babsibenson Oh, I was refering to the Video content. I usually watch dude in Twitch and we used to play on Pretendo several times after Nintendo's servers went offline.
@babsibenson why not? If it isn't balanced, then how is it fun? If quick respawn and damage up are back in the game, then the game will get stale after the initial few months.
@@kristopherhayes1957 Alright I get your point but for me personally Splatoon 1 is the most fun out of all three games ESPECIALLY because it is so unbalanced and there's so many broken things in the game

Dude is about to have his WiiU friends list blown out of proportions.
Splatoon seems so cool, I wonder if there'll be a sequel!
For sure I’d be cool!
Probably not
Imagine if you could use two guns at the same time in the next game. That'd be so cool
@@Mad-Gooseare you on crack? There’s no way that’ll happen
What if there were 2 new Splatoon games? Wouldn't that be a crazy world to live in.
6:45 genuinely loved this part of the video i love that you read some of the messages 😭
Rest in pieces splatoon 2, you will be forgotten moment.
I remember being younger and watching zachscottgames play splatoon 1
Same i was 8 when watching zack play it
Same 😭
I was 8 as well and didn't have splatoon yet, but I was still watching the videos. Now I'm waiting for the splatoon 4 although I never played 2 or 3.
Watching dude play splatoon 1 is so nostalgic
Real stuff. Watched him since 2015.
Splatoon 1 >>> Splatoon 2+3 combined.
I'm somewhat new to Splatoon, only really getting into it after public matches were available on Pretendo. Trying to go against some of y'all Splatoon veterans has been a terrifying experience lol. Absolutely having a blast, though!
i love this game and i really hope a sequel comes!
😂😂😂
We are so back
I kinda miss how broken everything was in Splatoon 1
This is something I’m gonna try and get back into

Nintendo doesn't have servers they use peer to peer.
I miss kelp dome and the rig
Some specials are better dead tbh
Bro got the todem of undying for splatoon 1
Wait how can you get pretenedo and mod my wiiu without breaking it?
HEY DUDE!! PLEASE KEEP MAKING MORE SPLATOON 1 VIDEOS. I'M A BRAND NEW PLAYER WHO DISCOVERED IT THROUGH YOUR VIDS AND I'D LOVE THE PRETENDO SERVERS TO BE EVEN MORE ACTIVE!!
I want more STREAMS ON SPLATOON 1 (bangs on the desk)
I been tryna play but no-one is playing and its impossible to get into matches
Personally, I would still prefer if Ranked prioritized matching you with other players of a similar rank first and then started letting other ranks in if it can't find anyone to fill the room, I think that would result in the best experience overall. Unless it's already doing that.
Do u go by abilities or style?
i want to play so bad but my wii u dosent boot up. gonna have to buy one off ebay, but the memories are worth it
CANT WAIT to see more Splatoon 1!!
Its actually nice to see that the inkzooka doesnt only have 3 shots
Splatoon 1 will never die so long as we have anything to say about it!
Do splatoon 2 like you did awhile ago when you Collabed with prochara but no one can go k52 stringray or tenta missiles ink armor weapons and no lde
"Vjet was never used in comp"
Camp triggerfish would like a word

I thought pretending was down

Splatoon is back RAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! 🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🗣️🔥🗣️

How much memory you have for games?
@@DaxiBGRoblox I mean internal Wii U storage can only take you so far with only 32 gb. I do have an external hardrive though which helps out alot
Hey DUDE you should make splatoon 1 charger Series
Nooo

I played with dude shortly before he got level 10 on kelp dome and camp triggerfish
Ive been trying to play splatoon 1 online with my pretendo account using Cemu, but it isn't working. The game boots and everything (i 100% the story) but when I try to go into the lobby, it doesn't give me an error message and then just kicks me back into the main map area. Anybody know why?
That dude squid bagging was funny!!!😅Cool! But my wii u is rip

It's still up I'm having so much fun I love the game
HE MADE IT AGAIN
Dude i did everything you mentioned to play splatoon and it worked once then shut off plz help !!
Thank you DUDE for that I thought it was over😅
Why does a part of me think Nintendo themselves will at some point in the future shut down Pretendo's work?...
They leave fan servers alone, dw. They already know about Wiimmfi and Pretendo.
So long as Pretendo isn't financially gaining anything from this, Nintendo can't legally do much.
@@dometalican1990 Not totally true from what I understand (not a lawyer nor do I know the laws about IP protection in Japan or the US) - they could at any point decide they don't like that fan servers exist and try to shut them down, but they don't have any incentive to do so.

@micah0000 they don't, bro. Super mario maker 2 community did something similar..nintendo threatened to sue
@@RavenNo.5 Oh heck, really? When was this? I never heard of this until now.
Splatoon 1 is the best game between 2 and 3 (in my opinion no hate) 😀
Facts
It’s more fun
S1 is my favourite too!! ❤❤
I loved 1 but 3 is awesome.
does dude play pokemon scarlet?
Even outlasting that guy who stayed for 61 days😔✊
We back to the og map
So Splatoon will never 'die'
BOOYAH SPLATOON 1 IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!
Dude how i still recieve error in online like 101-0502 plz any help 😢
You can do this by opening the settings once, testing the connection, and then opening it! (Maybe it will be better if you test it several times)
ITS DUDEEE 🗣️🗣️🗣️
ITS BACK??
how do i play it
While the mixed ranks system Pretendo did are sorta interesting in concept, I feel like the execution was mediocre at best because combined with the seemingly unchanged rank points system, getting queued with three C rank players and then losing 10 to 20 points because of a single loss is so dumb.
i tried emulating it on my pc and it worked til the end of the tutorial but after that... it just keeps crashing 😔 no splatoon 1 for me
Are your PC's drivers up to date? Mine as well try again and update the emulator now that things have been out for longer
Can we get more vids like this pls?
Do I have a dejavu? I remember playing S1 on Pretendo with you on stream before.
It was broken for a long time without homebrewing your wii u
@@babsibenson Oh, I was refering to the Video content.
I usually watch dude in Twitch and we used to play on Pretendo several times after Nintendo's servers went offline.
In this version, did pretendo balance the game?
Nahhh and thank god they didnt
@babsibenson why not? If it isn't balanced, then how is it fun? If quick respawn and damage up are back in the game, then the game will get stale after the initial few months.
@@kristopherhayes1957 Alright I get your point but for me personally Splatoon 1 is the most fun out of all three games ESPECIALLY because it is so unbalanced and there's so many broken things in the game
@babsibenson I agree to a certain extent. There was definitely more fun stuff, especially the maps.
If Nintendo shuts down lots of fanmade things then how is this legal? Idk exactly how to phrase the question but hopefully it makes sense 😅
They will shut it down eventually
@@RavenNo.5 hopefully not. Not before I get the chance to play again
My nintendo say : no have internet💀 and I can't play splatton 1 online😢
you need modded wii u
its actually kinda easy to do
I recommend watching DUDE's tutorial to how to access Pretendo on your Wii U. A modded console isn't required for one of the methods.
@@micah0000ok thanks
Who is running the servers
The developers behind Pretendo. Meaning fans, so it'd be great if others could support them in some way,
Genders are back baby!
Say NO! to Wokism!
woahhh
Ypaei
Thank you DUDE for that I thought it was over😅
