The Yuzu Switch emulator telemetry feature was used by Nintendo to prove how the emulator was used to play pirated games, often before their official release. As reported by Hikiko on X/Twitter, the Yuzu developers decided to settle to avoid discovery, as they would be hit with multiple infringements, including dumping games and sharing them between themselves, a claim that was not verified due to the out-of-court settlement. In addition, the emulator's telemetry feature, which is a standard feature in most modern software, was used by Nintendo to prove how the emulator was used to play pirated games, citing the […]
The development of the Yuzu was permanently halted, but the popular Nintendo Switch emulator will continue to live on thanks to multiple projects that were recently launched. The Nuzu and the aptly-named Suyu projects are both open-source works based on the latest version of Yuzu, they do not support piracy in any capacity and are currently looking for developers, so they currently do not offer anything past what the popular emulator they are based on does. Still, this shows how the emulation community is unwilling to back down. As mentioned above, the development of the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator was […]

Late last month Nintendo officially filed suit against the makers of Yuzu, one of the most popular Switch emulators. While most expected the case to drag on in typical legal fashion, it turns out it’s already been settled, and not in Yuzu’s favor. Per the settlement agreement between Nintendo and developer Tropic Haze, the latter will cease “offering to the public, providing, marketing, advertising, promoting, selling, testing, hosting, cloning, distributing, or otherwise trafficking Yuzu or any source code or features of Yuzu.” In addition to that, the makers of Yuzu have to pay Nintendo $2.4 million in damages. While some […]

Yuzu, the original Nintendo Switch emulator created by the developers of Citra (an emulator for Nintendo 3DS), has been hit by a Nintendo lawsuit. Originally spotted by Stephen Totilo, the lawsuit was filed in the US District Court of Rhode Island against Tropic Haze, which is the entity that operates Yuzu. Nintendo is seeking damages and a total shutdown of the emulator software. The Japanese company alleges that Yuzu 'facilitates piracy at a colossal scale', bringing the example of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom hitting over a million downloads before it was even launched on the console.

Today was Pokémon Day, marking the release of the original Game Boy titles in Japan, and Nintendo and The Pokémon Company used the occasion to reveal what’s coming next for the franchise. The big news was the announcement of the next major core entry in the series, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which won’t be coming until 2025. This means 2024 will be the first year in a long time without any new console Pokémon game, although fans may not actually be that upset by that, as many have been urging Game Freak to take more time with their games following the […]
