How to install Pretendo on Wii U and 3DS! (Play online in 2024)

After Nintendo recently shut down their online servers for the Wii U and 3DS, the folks at Pretendo have made a wonderful (and free) online service available to us, so that we can play WiiU and 3DS games online again such as Splatoon, Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, and more! This video covers how to connect to the Pretendo service from an unmodded Wii U, a softmodded Aroma Wii U, and a softmodded 3DS running Luma3DS.

It's amazing people saved the 2/3DS online functionality and games library after Nintendo made all of it de-facto abandonware.

When do we get to hunt on MH4U again?

[@Indianajoneson-kl5js]

That’s what I’m saying!

[@cheriegallagher2213]

Hi I can’t seem to register my mii from Wii U for pretendo? How can I get the register button to show up for me.
Thanks in advance

[@1inolol420]

Hey i see this is 1 day old so a very diffrent question but how do you put games on the mii screen from the home menu on the wii u

[@AlexGamingConsole]

If you mean reversing having miis on the TV and apps in the remote it's like x or y. If you mean for instance if you have digital GameCube games you'll need to make a forward channel. Not exactly sure what you're asking

@@AlexGamingConsoleHe means how to put his own games of choice onto the wara plaza.

[@EternalMaster12]

I think it’s just the latest games that you have played. Or communities on juxtaposition you’ve recently visited.

[@SplatSkill]

You can't control that it shows the games randomly

Do you need to put in your Nintendo Network ID in order for this to work?

[@fresh6050]

I tried to type my PNID in the NNID and it said already in use. How do I fix this

[@impastabowl2328]

So, I created a pretendo id using my Nintendo ID email, except a different username and mii name, etc. Will that do something to my account? Can I change the email it is connected to?

[@CoulterPeterson]

I'd recommend double-checking the steps on Pretendo's website as they outline how to create and sign into your new Pretendo ID. I believe they recommend not using the same email as your nintendo ID, but the latest steps on their site will be best to follow

Will smash bros work on the Wii U?

[@HarryMCrewsJr.]

Black ops 2?

[@Sun_Shineez]

In germany the dns ain‘t working

[@familhagaudir8561]

Double-check you have the right DNS.
Germany has it own China-style firewall of censorship so it might be blocked. You'll need to use a VPN set your "location" to a country that dosen't block what you're trying to access.
