Nintendo just went nuclear on Switch emulators (again)
Nintendo just can't stand Switch games running on anything other than a Switch.
Nintendo has initiated a new crackdown on Switch emulators, filing seven fresh DMCA notices that result in the removal of over 400 GitHub repositories. These repositories were dedicated to emulators like Suyu, Skyline, and several others. The company's stance against emulators using its intellectual property without authorization remains unyielding.
Earlier this year, Nintendo issued DMCA notices to take down several Switch emulators whose code was hosted on GitHub. Now, Nintendo has taken another significant step against such repositories. In a single day, the company has submitted seven DMCA complaints to GitHub, aimed at removing over 400 repositories related to Switch emulators.
This action includes emulators such as Suyu, which gained attention after the Yuzu emulator was shut down in 2024. According to the DMCA notice published publicly on the Suyu repository, GitHub complied with Nintendo's DMCA notice and removed all 311 repositories in the network.
