Nintendo just wiped out 400 more Switch emulator repositories on GitHub
Nintendo has reportedly targeted more than 400 Switch emulator repositories on GitHub in a single day as its aggressive anti-piracy campaign continues.
Nintendo's relentless crackdown on Switch emulation shows no signs of abating. In a single day, the company reportedly targeted over 400 emulator-related repositories on GitHub, continuing its aggressive enforcement against projects that facilitate piracy. Among the takedowns was Suyu, a fork of the defunct Yuzu emulator, which played a significant role in the sweep.
Other affected projects include MonoNX and Skyline. This is not Nintendo's first rodeo in this battle; after successfully shutting down Yuzu in 2024, the company has been pursuing forks and related repositories across GitHub. The result is a cycle of one emulator disappearing, only for another to emerge, with Nintendo sending out more takedown requests.
Nintendo's stance on piracy is firm, with no distinction between legitimate emulator use and its use to facilitate piracy. The company considers unauthorized copies of Nintendo games, as well as devices and software that circumvent the Switch's protections, to be included in its enforcement efforts. This latest GitHub sweep appears to be part of a broader strategy, as Nintendo seems uninterested in allowing the Switch emulator scene to rebuild itself.
While repositories may resurface in different forms, Nintendo's delete button remains active. Meanwhile, Riot Games has announced the end of active development for its League of Legends fighting game, 2XKO, by December 2026. Despite this, the game's servers will remain online, allowing continued play. Finally, a new Samsung Display OLED panel for gaming laptops will hit a staggering 300Hz refresh rate, marking a significant advancement in laptop screen technology.
