Nintendo shut down the most popular Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu earlier this year. Now, the company has shut down the other one, Ryujinx. Ryujinx, a popular open-source Nintendo Switch emulator, announced it is shutting down after receiving pressure from Nintendo to cease development. Another Nintendo Switch emulator appears to have bitten the dust, and Ryujinx has reportedly ceased development due to pressure from the gaming giant. The emulator scene for Nintendo is one fraught with cease and desists, and the latest to feel the wrath of Nintendo is Ryujinx.
Well, there it is. After what happened with Yuzu, many wondered if it would happen, and now it has. Nintendo has shut down the Nintendo Switch emulator Ryujinx. 'I think it's safe to say what the outcome is.' - Months after it closed down Yuzu, Nintendo has forced another Switch emulator offline. It's almost a surprise that it lasted that long after Nintendo killed Yuzu. But it appears Ryujinx, the popular Nintendo Switch emulator, has met the same fate. Nintendo has gone after another Switch emulator, and this time it's Ryujinx that's shut down - read the statement here. In what could possibly be the worst way to start October for emulation enthusiasts, as of just a few minutes ago the Ryujinx repository has been removed.
