News / Animal Crossing New Leaf: Online support has returned on Pretendo

Apologies for the late post, as you might have noticed I haven't been active on a lot of my social channels (been very busy).

Earlier this week, the @pretendo team officially released a new update to Nimbus which allows you to connect to the network on 3DS. Inside this update is a plugin that patches out the RCE vulnerability, which has to be run every time you wish to use Pretendo. Vapecord currently is not officially compatible with this update to my knowledge.

See more information at https://forum.pretendo.network/t/service-update-2025-12-08-acnl-game-servers-more/25381/.

Disclosure: I am a member of Pretendo's moderation team.
