Nintendo puts an end to the second best Switch emulator with a different approach and a different tone than what they did several months ago.
Nintendo continues to wage war on emulation of Switch and after the lawsuit against Yuzu the company ends Ryujinx. The person responsible for project account on Discord that he was pressured by the company to close.
At the time we saw that the closure of Yuzu took away another Nintendo 3DS emulator and that there was another closure indirectly, but this time everything comes from above.
The person in charge of the project tells on the aforementioned network that Nintendo of America asked him to cease and desist from the emulator after having reached an agreement for it.
“Yesterday, Nintendo contacted gdkchan and offered him an agreement to cease work on the project, eliminate the organization and all materials in its possession.“, the message said on Discord.
“”While we were waiting for confirmation on whether to take the deal, the organization was eliminated, so it’s safe to assume what the conclusion of all this is.
Beyond leaving you alone with panic and speculation, I have decided to write this brief message to give closure.“, he comments before saying that these are his words and no one else’s.
“Many thanks to everyone who contributed code, documentation, or reported issues with the project. Thank you all for following us through development.
I was able to learn a lot of cool things about games I love…“, but decides end the Nintendo Switch emulator instead of suffering the company’s legal consequences.
Let us remember that this time nothing else is mentioned, but in a resolution of mutual agreement Yuzu paid 2.4 million dollars to Nintendo in damages so that they would forget about the matter.
