Nintendo screwed big time. Now there’s going to be multiple forks of Yuzu all over the internet. And on every self-hosted Git forge.

I tried to fork but couldn’t find a repo to clone. Do you have a link?

It’s all over Codeberg. And within a few hours or days, I guess it will reach NotABug too.

Fuck no. Nothing against simply having emulation software, just creating it from what I can tell.

The bigger deal is that development by this team has been halted, not that it will be a little harder to find a trustworthy download of the most recent version.

Yep. This is more to stop the emulation of their next console than anything else. Especially considering it’s likely to be a just slightly better Switch.

Honestly, I’ll think more than twice before buying that thing if it really just is a Switch refresh. Not even taking into account the fact that whether it’s Yuzu or not, it’ll probably be supported by a Switch emulator in a comically short time after coming out. I’m still waiting for some insider leaks ten years from now revealing the Switch was indeed just some rebranded gaming tablet. Too many half-assed features, both on the firmware/OS side of things, but also the controller connectivity and drifting. It’s their worst console up to now. But damn, are their games fun.

That’s only temporary tho. One fork will emerge as the replacement everyone goes to, including the developers who were only working on Yuzu and Citra as volunteers. We know what Nintendo was sueing over, so that can probably be avoided in that fork.

Holy shit this thing smells so bad. The announcement reads like “Nintendo’s legal team wrote this in exchange for 1 mill smaller settlement”

I feel like the people saying this now aren’t going to follow through and will buy future Nintendo products. If this behavior was a deal breaker for you then you would already be boycotting Nintendo.

Well, given that the last game I officially bought by Nintendo was Metroid Prime Dread (because I really really want that franchise to regain its former glory, same with F-Zero) and that also after a year or so of not buying anything new. Yeah I was kinda in a soft boycott already.

Depends on the person really. I’ve been a sailor all my life, and the only times I’ve bought games was when I bought some physical disc games for my ps4, so it really depends on the person.

@theshatterstone54 @Fizz I’ve bought a physical copy of every switch game I’ve ever played on Yuzu on my Steam Deck… It was just nice having to only carry one portable about, and a superior overall gaming experience. I’ll never do business with Nintendo again over this…

No, and it’s still disgusting. They are fricking bullies.

Yet people keep buying their outdated console and paying for Nintendo online with terrible service.
