We're experiencing some temporary instability on the side of our server host. We have contacted them regarding the issue and are awaiting their response. We apologize for the downtime while we sort things out. Until then, most services will be offline/spotty

Several exciting updates for you all today! Animal Crossing: New Leaf has officially entered beta testing, and Smash has been moved OUT of beta testing and is available to the public on both the Wii U AND 3DS, among other changes! See our full announcement below for details! 💜

Screenshot of a Discord message from user "@mrjvs" reading: "Animal Crossing: New Leaf in testing & more
Hey @everyone, we have some exciting news to share:


Animal Crossing: New Leaf is now available to beta testers! (Thanks to @shoginyam)
While Dream Suite is not currently available (still a work in progress), the rest of the online functionality is available.

Super Smash Bros for Wii U & 3DS are now stable enough and are available to everybody!
Only fights are available at this time. Sharing of elements such as Miis, Stages, etc. are still in development.

Pokken Tournament is functional again, thanks to the effort of @SuperMarioDaBom 
Unfortunately, Friendly Matches with Friends Only do not yet work - We are aware of the issue and are currently investigating.

Super Mario 3D World can now use Miiverse once again, also thanks to @SuperMarioDaBom 
Ghosts are still not available however.


That's all, enjoy the updates to Pretendo!"

Our 2nd big announcement of the year! Yo-Kai Watch Blasters (all variants) has officially entered beta testing! Region locking is still in place (for now) and friend matches are not implemented, but basic public matches are! See our full announcement below💜

Screenshot of a Discord message from Jon reading "Second big announcement of the year! Yo-Kai Watch Blasters (Busters) - all variants - is now available for beta testers thanks to our newest Junior Developer, @shoginyan! As with all games, especially those in beta testing, not everything is functional yet. Bugs and instability are to be expected. Currently only public ("Far Away") matches are supported. Friend matches are not implemented at this time.

At this time, the game's built-in region locking is still in place. North American and European users will be unable to match with Japanese users. However we are looking to try and potentially lift this restriction, as we have done with Monster Hunter and Tri-Force Heroes (though nothing is set in stone).

We hope you've all had a good 2025 so far, and we thank you all for your continued support!"

To kick off the new year, we're pleased to make 2 announcements! Most excitingly Monster Hunter 4 G/U is now available to the public, featuring experimental cross-play between the JP and the international versions! We are also excited to announce a game night Friday the 3rd!

screenshot of a Discord message reading: "Hello everyone! As part of this New Year 2025 we've got two special announcements to make:

Monster Hunter for everyone
After some time seating in beta testing, Monster Hunter 4 G/Ultimate is now ready for the public and being released today! The game is (almost) feature complete, only missing the ability to blacklist people.

We also feature the possibility to crossplay between the Japanese and the international versions (MH4G and MH4U), thanks to some modifications on the server to remove the region locking placed by the game.

Pretendo Game Night - January 3, 2025
Alongside that, we'll be hosting a game night on Friday, January 3, 2025 at 11:00 PM to around 1:30 AM! 

We will be hosting the event in the ⁠events channel, and we are excited to play with everyone!

The games we'll be playing are from the Jackbox series and include: Trivia Murder Party 2, Tee K.O. 2, Job Job, Quiplash 3

Anyone will be able to get involved - and we're looking forward to seeing as many people as possible join us. Please note that you will need to log in with Twitch when joining.

If you would like to be pinged for future events, get the @EventPing role from ⁠Channels & Roles!"

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.

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.

It's truly remarkable to see this! While I'm no longer involved in the project, seeing Archiverse come full circle as an integration into the platform brings me countless joy. It's the rightful home to see these posts in their proper context. We archived it to start with _for_ projects like this.
