News / Pretendo Network: Animal Crossing New Leaf is now in testing on Pretendo Network

The team at @pretendo has just announced that Animal Crossing: New Leaf is now available to users who are testers!

This means that anyone at the Super Mario donation tier or above ($10/month, see https://forum.pretendo.network/t/-/4955) will be able to access online multiplayer servers for the game. This means that you'll be able to check in to Club Tortimer again or meet up a friend in their town! Servers will remain in testing until they are deemed to be stable enough. Dream Suite is not supported at this time.

Alongside this announcement, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Wii U and 3DS has left testing and anyone can now play those games online!

Obligatory disclosure: I am a staff member for Pretendo Network.

Bit later than usual.
So glad to be done with the early shift for the next 4 weeks now.
Next week I have the day shift, so I won't be able to post much at all for a couple of days.

Spent a bit too long working in the garden this afternoon, so I'm even more exhausted than usual.

Anyway, todays release is the very last issue of ONM:

Previous Action:

Nintendo and Sony are likely to raise prices on their game consoles in response to U.S. tariffs, with American consumers possibly paying as much as 30% more for a Switch 2 or PlayStation 5 under the base-case scenario. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/11/companies/nintendo-sony-game-consoles-tariffs/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #nintendo #sony #videogames #ps5 #us #tariffs #xbox #microsoft

I peeked at some #NintendoSwitch 2 reaction videos after making my own stream (ahem: https://youtube.com/live/KPR_CxVtaaM) I realized...man, I am not ANGRY enough to be a Content Creator I guess lmfao. You'd think nintendo murdered people's families. Yes, it's $450.

Certainly, I could keep these coming all day. Another #Nintendo #Switch2 tariff solution in two images.

I’ve got a tariff work around, hear me out:

They can bring back #Nintendo Power magazine for just one year of quarterly issues. The subscription fee is $450 for the whole year, but it comes with a *FREE OF CHARGE* Switch 2.

President Trump’s temporary pause on high tariffs for many countries could be good news for Nintendo. The news marks an opportunity for the company to ship more Switch 2 units from Vietnam to the U.S. Read more at @theverge. #Tariffs #Nintendo #Switch #Tech #Technology https://flip.it/nOA-P6

Romhack Thursday: Mario Adventure 2
Another romhack! There's lots of hacks and it's not always easy to find one I consider notable enough to present. This week's definitely has technical skill on its side.

Mario Adventure 2 might sound like a successor to Mario Adventure, a 2001 hack of Super M
