Splatoon banned stages event
Starting right now, Splatoon has special stages for the entire weekend!
As we’ve done previously, we’re bringing back banned stages! Various maps that were taken off the rotation by Nintendo for Rainmaker and Tower Control will be in the rotation when those modes appear. This event will end in 2 days, so play them while you can!
To view the special stages in use during this event, you can use OatmealDome's website.

Shout out to neobrain at this years 38C3 as he talks about 3DS emulation, Mikage, and preservation outside of emulation! Talk starts at 10am EST (10 minutes)
Good day! We've got one last set of new Juxt communities for y'all to check out: Hyrule Warriors, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Mario Kart 7, and Monster Hunter 3.
Merry Juxtmas and Happy Holidays!
Quick point of clarification:
For those unaware, Juxtaposition (or Juxt, for short) is Pretendo's reimagining/reimplementation of Miiverse. This is a social media platform tightly integrated with Wii U and 3DS systems & games. These past few days, we've been adding new communities to this service; these are not game servers. Game servers (e.g. online multiplayer) are developed separately, and will have their own set of announcements as needed.

In case you've missed it, starting December 21st we began "5 Days of Juxtmas", where each day we've been adding new communities to Juxtaposition.
On Day 1, we added Tomodachi Life and Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure.
On Day 2, we added Pokémon Rumble World and Pokémon Rumble Blast.
On Day 3, we added Pokémon Sun/Moon and Pokkén Tournament.
Today, we added Pokémon X/Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, and Team Kirby Clash Deluxe.
Tune in tomorrow for the final day! Merry Juxtmas and Happy Holidays!
A new blog post for the month of October has been released. This is our first blog post where we focus specifically on the more technical/behind the scenes side of things, rather than actual feature updates. Let us know if these are the sorts of updates you'd like to see in future blog posts!
This months blog post goes over a number of internal affairs and in-development experiments we've been running, including a new relationship with the Archiverse team, some experimental new server software, and new internal tooling to hopefully streamline the creation of new servers for simple games!
For all the details, see https://pretendo.network/blog/11-1-24 (as there are far too many to go over here!)
@SteffoSpieler B-Bandwidth is that you?
@limes test test
@jame @jeder @splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world @insert that was the main idea, yeah
- Still me, ash. I'm writing from here 'cause... my server ran out of storage and it killed everything, and I'm not home to fix it.
@jame @splatoon@wetdry.world @splatoon@lemmy.world
Discord is indeed cringe. The idea of a matrix instance was proposed to @jon, but either it was declined or it didn't go anywhere...
- Ash, @limes
@limes god damn it ash
A few days late, but with July now over we've got another round of updates for you all! This includes an overview of all the new changes to existing games, some future goals, and new information regarding Animal Crossing: New Leaf :D
https://pretendo.network/blog/8-2-24
Note: We know that we have released monthly progress update posts twice in a row now, but to be clear this may not consistently happen. Much of our work is research related, deals with internal tooling, making updates/improvements to our helper libraries, etc. These updates are not always necessarily interesting enough to make it into blog posts, so there may be periods where we do not publish any. However if you'd like to see these smaller things featured in blog posts, we may begin to include them
With June coming to a close, we'd like to take this time to talk about some recent updates, and future plans, for Pretendo. The full announcement is too long with a single post here, so see our full blog post for all the information: https://pretendo.network/blog/6-29-24
In this blog post we go over some unreleased new updates to our server libraries which should help with overall stability, the details of ten games receiving either new updates or beta testing (including Smash, Pokemon, and Puyo Puyo), and more!
Thank you everyone for your constant support and patience! 💜
The Wii U account settings app is now officially supported! You can now change user data, including country and region, from the Wii U!
Note this is not compatible with SSSL! You will need the latest release of Inkay to access the app
In order to make interacting with our community more accessible, and to better provide support to users outside of social media/Discord, we have officially opened a dedicated forum for Pretendo!
@experiencer @limes Yup!
