Suyu Emulator is Dead! Yuzu Emulator is Gone! The Nintendo Switch Emulation Saga Continues
310This is a follow up video to last weeks video: Nintendo has killed Yuzu and Citra emulators. Nintendo Switch emulation at least on the Yuzu emulator front is gone and 3DS emulation on Citra went with it! So let's take a look at the Nintendo lawsuit, find out why Yuzu lost and talk about what this means for game emulation moving forward! Because Suzu emulator is here...a new Nintendo Switch emulator that does basically everything DIFFERENT than Yuzu Emulator for Nintendo Switch did. Will it be enough to keep Nintendo's lawyers at bay?
Yes but the Nintendo Switch emulator Suyu threw in the towel anyway due to issues with the Yuzu source code basically leaving Ryujinx as the final standing Nintendo Switch emulation option!
Yesterday news broke that Nintendo is going after the Yuzu Emulator claiming it's illegal and in violation of Nintendo Copyright...which is not suprising because last February I said this was coming and soon! SO let's take a look at Yuzu Emulation, Nintendo Switch emulation and whether or not Nintendo has a legal case to stand on! Because Nintendo is trying to say Yuzu circumvents certain technologies and Nintendo wants Yuzu shut down by the courts! No Surprise...it is Nintendo after all! Nintendo news except NOT positive!
and before this : One year ago I did a video on Nintendo going after Valve and Steam in regards to the Dolphin Emulator and retro gaming emulation in general...and in that video I told you Nintendo was going to end up going hard against video game emulation! Some people didn't believe me...so let's look at the newly updated Nintendo Game Content Guidelines! oh and the competitive Smash Bros Tournament Guidelines are insane too...but that isn't what this is about!

Pivot time! Normally you would be watching a random fun Friday video this morning...but we have bigger fish to fry. Because we are going to be talking about video game emulation, its legal status and how Nintendo is currently threatening basically everyone who ever made a video on a Nintendo game ever with their new Nintendo Game Content Guidelines!

I asked, you answered...and I try to listen :) Of all the requests for new content on the channel one of the most frequently asked for videos is a series on the Steam Deck.
About eight months ago I did a part 1 video on whether video game emulation / emulation setup guides were legal and I mentioned I thought Nintendo would challenge this moving forward...and they did by removing the Dolphin emulator from Steam. Thankfully I have a long background in copyright and intellectual property law, have taught it to college students and have used this knowledge in many aspects of my working life as a filmmaker and professional athlete manager.
And on October 25th Nintendo went even WEIRDER with their new content guidelines rules! So today we will be talking about the concept of why video game emulation is legal in the first place and why Nintendo's new rules are just seriously insane!
But this will be very interesting to follow as if this goes to a court case it COULD be decided in Nintendo's favor and what emulation of retro gaming hardware as we currently know it could be in serious legal jeopardy!
