The Pretendo Network's custom servers have just hosted it's first online race in Mario Kart 8! We finally have matchmaking working properly, so other server will likely start to follow not too far behind. Check out the demo Below!

Congratulations, impressive stuff!

This makes me curious, is the already-discontinued online connectivity for games like Lost Reavers or Devil's Third equally as well understood, or did those run on completely different server setups to something like Mario Kart 8?

I have to assume they're different, or they'd probably still be running. But does anything learned here help with those games?

While I can't speak to how the games you specifically listed work, we do have a decent understanding for the games using the nex protocol, which is most games on the Wii U.
