GitHub link to Nintendo’s claim - all the details you need are here
The emulator forks which are being taken down are as follows:
Despite this, the one fork that continues, and will continue without takedown is Ryubing - by Greemdev. This is created by an original member of the Ryujinx team. It’s safe, the code is beyond reproach (and violates zero laws or Nintendo code) and actually brings helpful updates.
Still…shitty news. And more indication that the Switch 2’s architecture will be damn similar to that of this current Switch. Them taking emulators down means the upcoming games have a solid chance of being emulatable on release. But…that’s my own (and others’) conjecture, so we’ll see when the time comes.
Instead of getting a switch 2, I just switched 2 steamdeck
Snap. I love the form factor and would have been interested in a Switch 2 but after all this bullshit with taking down emulators and trying to patent throwing balls, I’m going to be voting with my wallet and Nintendo have list for for the next generation or two. I’ll survive.
I grew up with the very mention of the word Nintendo triggering dopamine spews in my brain. It’s so hard to turn hatred toward them, but the time has come. They’ve turned into such dicks.
Fuck Nintendo. Keep working, preserve gaming history!
Nintendo can gargle on my balls. Fuck this POS company. I doubt they’ll ever be able to completely kill emulators. I have so many copies of Yuzu and Suyu that are backed up everywhere. They all work. Because fuck Nintendo.
Your second paragraph is a very interesting point that I for some reason haven’t considered. Explains why they’re going after emulators left and right.
