Nintendo Crushes Yuzu

Nintendo Crushes Yuzu

Author: Last Stand Media & Studio71 March 7, 2024 Duration: 2:37:53
Nintendo’s reputation for being an extremely litigious company continues. Over the past two weeks, their latest target was Yuzu, a popular Nintendo Switch emulator.

In addition, Yuzu, while not directly hosting game files and Nintendo Switch BIOS and decryption files, paved a clear and easy way for its users to acquire them. So who’s in the right and who’s wrong? The Punching Up crew agrees that there’s obviously a place for emulation and game preservation, but when does piracy take things too far? Let’s dive in.
