Nintendo Switch Ryujinx Emulator Is Dead

As we know, Nintendo has a reputation for vigorously pursuing legal action against those who allegedly violate its copyrights. Earlier this year, the company targeted Yuzu, an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator, as well as the 3DS emulator Citra, which resulted in the shutdown of Yuzu and its GitHub forks, further reinforcing Nintendo’s control over its intellectual property.

Nintendo Switch is an interesting case in the world of console gaming, as this currently available system has not just one but two major emulators actively in development. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case, as Ryujinx, Switch’s other popular emulator, is now unplayable following Nintendo’s intervention.
