The Zelda maker is hunting down rogue repositories on Github

Months after it shutdown the popular Switch emulator Yuzu over copyright infringement and piracy concerns, Nintendo has initiated a mass takedown of related backups and apparent clones on the Microsoft-owned platform Github. Over 8,000 repositories were removed as the Zelda publisher seemingly tries to stomp out forks of the emulator before they sprout up elsewhere.

“The reported repositories offer and provide access to the yuzu emulator or code based on the yuzu emulator,” a representative for Nintendo wrote in the takedown request. “The yuzu emulator is primarily designed to play Nintendo Switch games. Specifically, yuzu illegally circumvents Nintendo’s technological protection measures and runs illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games.
