This reads a lot like Nintendo just paid the dev to take it all down.
Nintendo has reportedly shut down Ryujinx, the Switch emulator that was supposedly immune

Lol it’s like Nintendo just wants to back itself into a corner and waste away with it’s IP. Jeez. I honestly have no desire to purchase anything from them anymore.
I still emulate a solid amount of their games I’ve had for most of my life because I don’t want to wear down my old hardware.
They haven’t gotten a cent out of me since the GameCube, though, so I understand I’m probably not going to be their target audience anymore.

pretty sure the only reason nintendo cared is because ryujinx was prominently displayed in the leaked footage of echos of wisdom, pre launch

Nintendo’s been way too busy in this scene for too long a time for that to be the only reason. I can see that such a leak wouldn’t help, but they’ve been pouring money into these cases for years and have really ramped it up in the last five or so

No one hates Nintendo players more than Nintendo

The lesson here is to download every single working nintendo emulator as a backup and share it with your friends. Emulation is legal after all even if the Nintendo mafia try to shut it down.

I wonder if Cemu is next…

It’s a fair question, but honestly I think Nintendo generally focuses on emulators that they perceive as affecting their current or near-future income. The Wii U is fully dead to Nintendo, at least for the moment.

They’ll probably use one of these emulators in the future to emulate switch games on the switch 2.

Last version is 1.1.1403, I’m sure you can find it some where still

I dont have any nitendo emulations but i guess this tells me i should collect some and save em on a harddrive just in case i ever want it.

Inventing dynamite is also a Nobel act.

I immediately sought out working backups of both Yuzu and Ryujinx. The “bright side” of this situation is that it pissed me off enough to go acquire both the new Zelda game that potentially caused this whole situation by being leaked early, and the game that was at the absolute top of my to-play list: Unicorn Overlord. So far it is looking like a fantastic game.

For anyone curious, Echoes is definitely playable on steam deck

Is the new one better than Tears of the Kingdom?

Looks like the github is still up if you’re willing to build yourself
