Play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate online again — matchmaking, friends, rooms and presence — on a clean, community-run network. No Nintendo account. No tracking.
Nextendo Network is a from-scratch reimplementation of the online services behind several Nintendo Switch games, built so people can keep playing together. It runs its own account system, matchmaking servers and friends/presence layer — and plugs into a customized Ryujinx build and real CFW consoles.
- 🎮 Real online play — matchmaking, private rooms, friends, presence.
- 🧑🤝🧑 One identity everywhere — a single Nextendo account for the emulator and your Switch, with a permanent friend code.
- 🔒 Privacy-first — no Nintendo account, no ads, no tracking. Your saves stay yours.
- 🆓 Free, forever.
