Nintendo is back at it with their Nintendo shenanigans because as of two hours ago the final Nintendo Switch emulator Ryujinx was taken offline! Some back room deal occurred between one of the Ryujinx developers and Nintendo and all active development has ceased at the Ryujinx GitHub repo has been deleted! and this is after the Nintendo Palworld lawsuit...Nintendo is REALLY on a roll here. Emulation lawsuits are a danger to everyone...but this is different!
and now Nintendo is going after YouTube emulation guide makers and even gamers doing reviews / streaming Nintendo Switch games if they can detect you are using emulation as the source of the footage! Nintendo vs emulation is on! Because Nintendo hates video game emulation or emulation vs console!
So here is the history of Nintendo lawsuits!

and the track record of Nintendo suing everyone is below in the description!
Nintendo has sued every Switch emulation maker they can get their hands on (Yuzu emulator is gone, Suyu emulator is dead, Sudachi DMCA is a mess) and DMCA's Vimm's Lair and a ton of other sites...but what is their end goal? It all leads to Switch 2 and the Switch 2 hardware and Switch 2 rumors...I think?
This is a follow up video to last months video: Did Nintendo DMCA attack Vimm's Lair? Or were DMCA trolls involved? Lets find out! Because it turns out it WAS Nintendo and their partners that send the metric ton of takedowns to Vimm's Lair and Nintendo's emulation fight continues on...most likely due to iPhone emulation and retro game emulators on iPhone now being a thing! Plus Nintendo sent MORE DMCA takedowns to the Super Smash Bros modding community...and now the ESA and Sega are joining in too? WOW (or the Sega thing is trolling?)
