Pretendo Chat is a simple, cross-platform chat app designed for Nintendo consoles like the Wii, 3DS, and Wii U, integrating with the Pretendo network. It offers features like public chat rooms, private 1 on 1 messaging, and game specific communities, making it easy for players to connect and interact. Users can join public rooms based on popular games or topics such as “Mario Chat” or “Pokémon Trades,” or engage in region-based communities to find local players. Game-specific communities allow players to discuss strategies, share in-game achievements, or organize multiplayer sessions. Players can also send direct messages to friends with the option to invite them to games like Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros. The app includes Nintendo-themed emojis and stickers, adding a fun touch to conversations, while notifications and quick reply options allow users to respond without leaving their current game. Integrated friend code linking and moderation tools help maintain a safe and easy-to-use platform, while parental controls provide added safety for younger users. Pretendo Chat is designed to keep communication fun, simple, and centered around the Nintendo gaming experience.
Yes, but people in the 13 to 18 year old age bracket needs protecting too. Various social media websites have protections enabled by default for under 18s.
In the post above me, I didn’t mention potential Wii compatibility simply because Pretendo has/will never intend to support that system. Not all hope is lost, though; Wiimfii and WiiLink do support the Wii and are homebrew services just like Pretendo!
