Good day! We've got one last set of new Juxt communities for y'all to check out: Hyrule Warriors, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Mario Kart 7, and Monster Hunter 3. Merry Juxtmas and Happy Holidays!

Quick point of clarification: For those unaware, Juxtaposition (or Juxt, for short) is Pretendo's reimagining/reimplementation of Miiverse. This is a social media platform tightly integrated with Wii U and 3DS systems & games.

In case you've missed it, starting December 21st we began "5 Days of Juxtmas", where each day we've been adding new communities to Juxtaposition. On Day 1, we added Tomodachi Life and Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure.

Check out Azahar, an up-and-coming 3DS emulation collaboration between @pablomk7.bsky.social (originally a Citra dev, who continued to maintain a fork after it was shut down) and Lime3DS, who did great work getting 3DS emulation running on Android! azahar-emu.org

It's truly remarkable to see this! While I'm no longer involved in the project, seeing Archiverse come full circle as an integration into the platform brings me countless joy. It's the rightful home to see these posts in their proper context. We archived it to start with _for_ projects like this.
