Nintendo DMCA takedown wipes over 8,500 Yuzu emulator copies

After slamming the Switch emulator Yuzu with a $2.4 million lawsuit that caused it to shut down, Nintendo is now taking aim at its copies. The gaming giant submitted a total of 8,535 takedown notices for Yuzu emulator forks on GitHub, as spotted earlier by TorrentFreak and PCGamer. When news of Nintendo’s lawsuit against Yuzu first broke, users began preserving the emulator’s code by making copies and uploading it to places like GitHub.

” Nintendo argues that Yuzu uses “unauthorized” versions of the cryptographic keys required to run Switch games. Some Yuzu copycats, such as Suyu, attempted to get around Nintendo’s complaints by requiring users to provide their own cryptographic keys from their Switch. However, GitLab later took down Suyu’s repository following a DMCA takedown notice from a “rightsholder.” Nintendo’s legal team has been very busy over the past few months.
