I know Devil’s Third multiplayer shut down almost a decade ago but is it possible to restore it through Pretendo?
Every game using Nintendo Network is planned to be usable via Pretendo in the future, however fixing current servers and adding ones for more requested games takes priority. As such, Devil’s Third will be supported, but when it’ll be supported is up to the developers (and the community requests and donations).
AFAIK Devil’s Third possibly used it’s own servers, looking at DaniElectrica’s fork of the Kinnay Title List, I can see that it didn’t use PIA, the P2P library that games usually use if they supported online multiplayer through Nintendo Network and not external servers, as taking a look at a game which definitely supports online through Nintendo Network, Splatoon, it used NEX and PIA
I could be wrong on this, but the general rule of thumb is that if the game had fully used Nintendo Network, and not external servers like how the Call of Duty games on Wii U did it, then it will have game servers developed for by Pretendo eventually. Games which used their own servers for online features will not be brought back by Pretendo as they are outside of the scope of Pretendo Network
