Nintendo DMCA takedown wipes over 8,500 Yuzu emulator copies


Nintendo is back at it again.

The gaming giant submitted a total of 8,535 takedown notices for Yuzu emulator forks on GitHub, as spotted earlier by TorrentFreak and PCGamer. When news of Nintendo’s lawsuit against Yuzu first broke, users began preserving the emulator’s code by making copies and uploading it to places like GitHub. The game’s developer confirmed in April that it received takedown notices from Nintendo, resulting in the removal of 20 years’ worth of Nintendo-related add-ons.
