I thought I would try playing Splatoon 1 on Pretendo Network because I figured it'd be neat to check out. Turns out, Pretendo Network is one of those extremely anti-piracy fan servers, requiring you to buy a Wii U, modify it, and create an account for the network on it (and people are starting to overcharge on Wii U systems because of "modding potential" for a system that most people would rather just use a PC instead of trying to mod for emulation). Only then are you allowed to dump said fan server account files with use for emulator.
The alternative is buying pretendo accounts from shady third parties who can at any point delete the account from the Wii U, thereby deactivating it. What a great ""archival"" service of Nintendo's online features.
