On April 8, a crucial event occurred for the video game industry, since Nintendo finally turned off the consoles' online servers. 3DS and Wii U, which has brought sadness to users who still used the devices to play with everyone. However, all is not lost, since a fan of the company would be looking for a way for these online interactions to remain present, at least not by methods that are considered official.
The project is named after I intendand seeks that in some way users continue experiencing the game with friends and strangers in titles ranging from the first Mario Maker even the popular Splatoon, which until a few days ago was still very active. This is not new in the games industry, since with Wii These treatments were also done so that people continued playing Mario Kart Wii and also Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Here is the statement they released:
Pretendo is a free and open source replacement for Nintendo Network that was created with the goal of creating custom online servers for the Wii U and 3DS consoles. Our goal is to preserve the online capabilities of those consoles, allowing players to continue playing their favorite Wii U and 3DS games to their full capacity.
It has been established that to make this functional it is necessary to make factory modifications to the consoles, this with a Homebrew Launchera program that allows you to install third-party software and hacked games via Wii U and 3DS. Although it is not something that is considered legal at all, it is necessary to continue allowing users to try their favorite titles on both devices thanks to the implementation of the program in question.

Editor's note: It is good that we seek to have these alternatives to continue playing titles that would otherwise be unusable, such as Splatoon. That is why they must continue with this in mind, preserving what Nintendo wants to cut.
