"Nintendo Fans Rally as Pretendo Saves Wii U and 3DS Online Services from Shutdown"
TL;DR Summary
The fan-made Nintendo Network replacement, Pretendo, now offers a hackless method for connecting to the network on the Wii U, following the closure of Nintendo's official online servers for the Wii U and 3DS. The new method, called 'SSSL', utilizes a bug in the Wii U's SSL module and allows users to connect to Pretendo Network without the need for homebrew or custom firmware. However, this method is only available for the Wii U, and certain titles with their own SSL libraries will not be compatible with the unofficial network.
