A month after Switch emulator Ryujinx disappeared from the internet, Nintendo has seemingly taken ownership of its website


Ryujinx's lead dev was reportedly "offered an agreement" to stop working on the emulator last month

Again, it doesn't appear that the Ryujinx website is actually functional anymore – there's nothing to see there – but perhaps Nintendo has taken this measure so that no one else can revive the emulator using the same domain later down the line. The devs at Tropic Haze confirmed that support for both Yuzu and 3DS emulator Citra would cease immediately, and added that the team had "always been against piracy" and "were not intending to cause harm" with their projects. After spending more hours than I can count filling The University of Sheffield's student newspaper with Pokemon and indie game content, and picking up a degree in Journalism Studies, I started my career at GAMINGbible where I worked as a journalist for over a year and a half.
