I am looking for devs and graphic designers for a new Nintendo Network revival I am starting, called ReTendo Network. I want ReTendo to revive EVERYTHING on the Wii U, from Miiverse to the eShop. Now, I don't know ANYTHING about coding or graphic design, which is why I need your help. If someone wants to help, the Discord link is https://discord.gg/fEqaaWsqu9 At one point, I will give the project to a dev and/or a graphic designer because I can't code or anything. Let me know what you think!

So you're planning on paying people to re-create Pretendo, but with an eShop, so Nintendo could sue you for IP infringement...

And yes paying because otherwise this thread has 0 value, you should search the internet for "idea guy" in that case.
 
I mean, it’s a good idea, but Pretendo is kind of what you’re talking about! Also, I don’t know if you want the Nintendo Ninjas tracking you down for numerous reasons, as bringing back the E-Shop would be selling their games for profit…
 
Tip, don't start from scratch. Pretendo is fully open source. You can work off what they made, as long as you give attribution.

Avoid touching the eShop unless you're going to put only Homebrew on it. That can land you in trouble (unless you're in a country that doesn't value western Intellectual property).

You will probably want to start learning how to at least read and debug code if you want any chance of starting this. AI can help you but will only get you so far, and if you can't read or debug it won't be very useful.

We already have Pretendo Network as a replacement service for Nintendo Network
We do not need more Pretendo Clones

Disagreed. Having alternatives is a good thing. Centralization is anti-preservation.

there's a reason why not pretendo dosent support all games right now and why they don't have an eshop working it's not a choice matter LMAO

They don't support all games because they haven't worked on all of them yet, or they just don't want to. That's a different issue than supporting the eShop, which is purely distribution rights.
