[!] fix for 101-0502 error on splatoon!

[NotMeIGuess]

So, just now I was trying to connect to Splatoon, with no avail. I decided to reset the WaraWara plaza, but I also turned off connecting to the Pretendo network. I then restarted my Wii U, and opened Splatoon again. To my suprise; the news worked! (EDIT: Tried it again; still works!) And everything in between works as well!
If you wanna play Splatoon, just do what I did!!!

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, though, tricks that work for some people might not work for everyone.

Error Code 101-0502. No solution?

101-0502 is a very generic error, all it means is that your console failed to connect to something related to the friends service. It’s not even clear if the client passed authentication or not based on just this error. It can be caused by many things, some of which we can’t even control. Server load, bad environment settings, connection issues with your home network, etc. There is no silver bullet fix because it’s caused by any number of issues. I’ve even had my console be unable to go online …

my pretendo account on my wii u was running fine yesterday, woke up today, everything was offline. i tried pulling up miiverse, it said i had no internet, but when i went to test my internet it was running fine. is this just something i need to update with the pretendo software or is there a problem

I’ve manually set my DNS to both Google and Cloudflare, and both yield the same error in Splatoon. Yesterday, I wasn’t able to play other games online either.
