News / Pretendo Network: Nintendo has issued a warning not to use revival servers

Nintendo has issued a warning today for people not to use the Pretendo Network as it may pose unexpected security risks.

This isn't really a big deal, but I'm sharing it over here to point out a few things since people seem to be a bit concerned whether this post will affect @pretendo or not.

• Nintendo has known about Pretendo since at least December 2023 so it isn't a new thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1bejk7e/comment/kuuf06r/
• Nintendo has no interest in really trying to take Pretendo down, since they wouldn't send a tweet but they'd instead send the lawyers: https://forum.pretendo.network/t/about-this-nintendo-customer-support-tweet/9728/5?u=gamersinternatio
• We believe this is from some users contacting customer support for help with Pretendo issues: see above

Suppose I should also disclose that I'm a Pretendo staff member again in the interest of transparency.

And now the Network is dead

Interviews: One "lucky" player remains on Splatoon 1 Nintendo servers, here's how it happened.

I was inkredibly lucky to be able to interview @[email protected] earlier, who is the last player known to be still connected to Nintendo Network servers playing Splatoon 1.

They are just one of 9 players who remain on Nintendo Network servers.

I put forward 6 questions of my own to them and 3 from community members (yamari, @jackemled and @insert) at https://paper.wf/splatoon/a-lucky-player-is-still-playing-splatoon-1-on-nintendo-servers-heres-how-it, and it's truly interesting to see how they managed to become the last player playing Splatoon on Nintendo servers.

I heard that there are still some players online despite the servers being down, which as some posts I read pointed out, is a #XenobladeX reference. I think if I remember correctly, the #WiiU might use a peer-to-peer system like the #Wii, so it's just the main server that can't do connections anymore.

Windows on a phone's online services, specifically Windows 10 Mobile's Store if you consider it Windows Phone, outlived Xenoblade X's online.

Hey everyone, by some stroke of luck the Spotpass servers for the Wii U and 3DS were not yet shutdown so it is still possible to obtain and submit archives.

If you have a Wii U or 3DS I highly encourage you to follow the guide on this site to submit dumps.
Even if you don't please spread the word so we can get as many dumps as possible and save as much content as we can (boosts are very helpful and much appreciated).
