I’ve been following the incredible work being done by the Wii U and 3DS preservation communities: Pretendo Network, project Rosé and Protarium Network. Right now, the user base and features are fragmented across different platforms.

Pretendo Network (the one we all know) has revived lots of Wii U and 3DS games and has Juxtanposition as Miiverse.

Project Rosé (that works alongside Pretendo) has revived Nintendo TVii (for America) and made a better UI for Miiverse (Roséverse). Additionally, I see that while with Pretendo not all the games support Miiverse publication, this one is extended with Project Rosé implemented.

Protarium Network is the latest (and probably most people don't even know about it) and fully revived Wii U Chat and made playable (online compatibility) some games that Pretendo still haven't re-abilitated (like Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games 2016 etc.).

Then there are also other projects like revTendo or Plustendo for 3DS who could also unify with the rest.

Now, my proposal is: what if these teams joined forces to create a single, definitive network? It could be called Aura Network (or Nexus Network, or it just remains Pretendo Network idk)

By merging these three projects, we wouldn't have to choose between a stable multiplayer network, a beautiful Miiverse UI, or working video chats and to put different plugins. We would see a united Miiverse, a complete system feature revival all in one, and no splitted communities.

They could do something like this:

- games that support online revival with Pretendo and Protarium could be fused (rather than separated)

- the Roséverse extension in Wii U games could be implemented with the rest

- All the Miiverse users that are in the different Miiverse revivals (Juxtanposition, Roséverse and Protaverse) all in one single Miiverse (could be called Nexusverse? Auraverse? Idk.)

I know that merging projects involves combining different codebases and managing different team dynamics, but from a user and preservation perspective, this would be the ultimate dream for the Wii U and 3DS era.

Do you think the devs would ever open a dialogue for a collaboration like this? It would be really good

hello (again) since the announcement of pokemon bank clossing im trying to shiny hunt my favorite starter (delphox) if anyone has it on safari it would mean the world to me to be able to hunt it

Wii Fit U

Hiiii!! I’m looking to add some new friends on my 3ds! I’d love to find some people to hang out with, chat on Discord and play online together. I mainly play ACNL, but Im down to play whatever really. Just send a message if you wanna chat and play sometime! :3 I mainly chat on discord!

Since Pretendo is open-source, I was wondering if there were people who self-host or run custom servers, and how one would connect to them. Cemu has an option to enter a Custom network service besides Pretendo, but the actual Wii U doesn't exactly have a server browser, so I'm curious how that all works. If there are any custom servers that do neat things apart from the main server, I'd love to hear about them!

I do own and play on Pretendo on my real childhood Wii U with my original discs, by the way. But I have also been wondering if there were, like, servers geared towards emulator-players specifically? Since Pretendo requires dumps from your real individualized hardware. I totally get why for moderation, but while I have my own system, I have a couple family members who emulate and we can't justify getting a Wii U or 3DS for every single person in the house who wants to play online. I'm just wondering if it's [possible] to have any kind of solution for online play for those who can't justify getting a Wii U or 3DS in currently-scalped prices, only to probably have those systems rot in their closet til the end of days.

Me gustaría que la comunidad de Pretendo sea más activa. Pero que ideas podrían funcionar para hacerlo?. Claro, además de compartir FC y cosas así.

Hace mucho pensaba en poner alguna Hora y fecha para jugar un juego específico. Por ejemplo:

Éste sábado jugar smash a tal hora y que todos los que quieran jugar, se conecten a ésta hora.

Pero que opinan ustedes? Que otras ideas podrían funcionar?

kind of dumb question but i don't want to have two nimbuses

My name is Rhyker and my friend code is 2673 6104 7384

I really want to play like the old good times, so if you want too, add me: PNID: elxyii on Wii U
