Can't say I've ever seen blur / aliasing that bad in a game before (Hogwarts)
I bet the Switch corners of the internet are full of 'I can't believe it even runs! This device is amazing!' type comments
Yeah, it runs. As if the device isn't doing exactly what it's capable of. But it runs at ~24FPS on a very low resolution with three quarters of the detail / textures / physics / lighting / NPC density etc removed. Amazing! It would actually be amazing they if it actually matched the detail of the PS5
It's like watching a VHS when the Bluray exists. It's not worth experiencing such things at such low fidelity
It’s probably frivolous, but they are banking on the developers not having the capital for legal defense. They will likely offer a “”settlement” of just shutting it down with no “damages”.
This tells me though that nintendo is not confident even switch 2 will beat emulation. Why not just make a good product they're confident in?
Nintendo has always gone super hard against any form of piracy, platform dilution or similar. Remember when they shut down footage of all Nintendo games on Youtube because they wanted a cut from every video?
Even the Chinese handhelds you can get on Ali (like Anbernic or so) have stopped putting first party Nintendo games on their cartridges.

i don't understand why Nintendo never cared about pirate stuff on Amazon lol.. i saw everything from arcade machines (with Nintendo logos and characters) loaded with 1000's of their games to those smaller consoles with gamepads that connects to your TV, also with Nintendo games + Switch-like machines with their games.
Amazon doesn't give a shit they're selling pirate stuff. (well indirect, it's other sellers on Amazon, but it's still provided from the Amazon site)
I see the backslash around Nintendo every time they sue people but I'm not sure I (we?) wouldn't react the same if I were working for Nintendo legal departement.
These guys are paid to defend the brand, I don't think they can just show up at work and pretend everything is fine, waiting to get paid just sitting and watching the Nintendo brand being threatened by piracy and emulators. Not only that, but it doesn't give a good image for 3rd party dev, see Prince of Persia being packaged with Yuzu on P2P before actual release date, when the game uses Ubisoft launcher DRM and DENUVO on PC.
What @Interinactive said it all. Monetizing technology that allows people to play Nintendo games isn't really smart. See what happened to bleem! ? Sony isn't any better.
Same goes with CEMU and their Patreon. Obviously, Nintendo want people to buy their own hardware rather than emulate it. And it is also easier to pirate games on emulators than on the actual consoles (although this is debatable).
Because they are a big company they are evil trying to milk every money they can get from their brand? You would do the same specially if you had a team full of lawyers doing nothing and you were the owner of the Mario franchise

Whoa, arent you a bit too old for this fanboy defense nonsense?
It's neither black or white. Nintendo knows it's position on the market and the fact that they can release a polished turd and it'll be popular. Not for no reason they're not competing in any sort of way. And not for no reason they're not striving to have their console hardware match the market standard both in performance and price.
Do they have evil gacha mechanic in their games? no. Does their games kill small children? no.
Is Nintendo evil? Not really. I think it's suffering from a truly old fart capitalistic mentality. Is Nintendo good? probably not, just taking a safe route while coasting on their brand name making cheap consoles with last gen hardware for a premium price.
Had i been Nintendo i'd sued Yuzu also. It's a no brainer really. But taking down all kinds of shit on youtube and stuff from people playing their games, no that's not good.
As part of the judgment by the US District Court of Rhode Island, Tropic Haze was issued with a permanent injunction preventing it from offering or marketing Yuzu or any of its source code in the future.
Quote:
A permanent injunction is entered against Defendant enjoining it and its members, agents, servants, employees, independent contractors, successors, assigns, and all those acting in privity or under its control from:
a. Offering to the public, providing, marketing, advertising, promoting, selling, testing, hosting, cloning, distributing, or otherwise trafficking in Yuzu or any source code or features of Yuzu;
b. Offering to the public, providing, marketing, advertising, promoting, selling, testing, hosting, cloning, distributing, or otherwise trafficking in other software or devices that circumvent Nintendo’s technical protection measures, including without limitation by using unauthorized copies of Nintendo’s proprietary cryptographic keys to decrypt Nintendo’s video games (or component files);
c. Directly or indirectly infringing, or causing, enabling, facilitating, encouraging, promoting, inducing, or participating in the infringement of, any of Nintendo’s copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property, whether now in existence or hereafter created, including but not limited to the unauthorized reproduction, display, public performance, or distribution of any of Nintendo’s copyrighted video games or operating systems, which includes the emulation of Nintendo’s video games;
d. Committing any other violation of Nintendo’s intellectual property rights, worldwide, whether now existing or hereafter created; and
e. Effecting assignments or transfers, forming new entities or associations, or using any other device for the purpose of circumventing or otherwise avoiding the prohibitions set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(c).
It could be worse...switch is almost dead now anyway, and the current build will continue to play all the good stuff. Nintendo might have shut the stable doors, but the horse has already bolted long ago.
Oh, and I'm sure Yuzu's statement on their webpage wasn't written by Nintendo at all.
