Switch emulator Yuzu abruptly shutters after Nintendo files suit


Tropic Haze has shut down Switch emulator Yuzu after it settles a recent lawsuit with Nintendo for $2.4 million.

They add, “In particular, we have been deeply disappointed when users have used our software to leak game content prior to its release and ruin the experience for legitimate purchasers and fans… Effective today, we will be pulling our code repositories offline, discontinuing our Patreon accounts and Discord servers, and, soon, shutting down our websites.” We’re thrilled to open our call for speakers to our flagship event, GamesBeat Summit 2024 hosted in Los Angeles, where we will explore the theme of “Resilience and Adaption”. Legal cases involving emulation have been relatively permissive up to now, but Nintendo’s complaint specifically mentioned the use of the software to play leaked copies of Tears of the Kingdom.
