Same idea, different systems. Wiimmfi is for the Wii and DS. Pretendo is for the WiiU and 3DS

It makes me smile every time I see someone comment on how good our name is :D I'm quite proud of it, thank you! Much better than the projects original name, "RiiU" lol

Hey there, founder and lead dev of the project here! The lolcat language option was actually implemented just for fun by one of our web developers, however using it as a way to test localization is a very interesting idea! We make use of Weblate to manage our translations, so all strings do get accounted for using the tracker there before anything gets merged

I do like the idea of using a meme translation to test localization though, and if we didn't use something like Weblate I would probably steal this idea xD
