This morning, the news that Nintendo sued the developer of the NS emulator Yuzu caused a heated discussion online. It is reported that Nintendo claims that Yuzu's developers used technology to illegally circumvent Nintendo's software encryption, which contributed to copyright piracy. Nintendo demanded compensation from the Yuzu developers for the damage caused by this and the closure of the emulator.
As we all know, Nintendo is known as "the strongest legal department in the Eastern Hemisphere", and Yuzu who is targeted by them this time may be more than lucky. However, as for Nintendo's view of suing Yuzu, players are on two different camps. Although logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with the official prosecution of the cracker. But there are also many players who believe that such a problem will occur, and Nintendo itself is also responsible.
The world has been suffering for a long time" is a point that Nintendo players often complain about. Although there are many good games on NS, the experience of some games is greatly reduced due to the performance of the NS console. Because of this, players have been calling for Nintendo to launch **NS to further enhance performance. However, Nintendo, in line with the principle of "lying down and earning, never standing", has been reluctant to release a new machine. In such a situation, some players who were originally willing to enter the game had to choose a PC emulator in order to improve the gaming experience.
But Yuzu's NS emulator has been out for so many years, why is Nintendo only starting to sue now? speculated on the Internet that this is mostly because **ns is really coming out.
Yesterday, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported that Nintendo NS2 will be released in March next year, and the accuracy of this news has sparked discussion among players. Although there have been cases in the past when the Nikkei Shimbun reported on Nintendo (2012), Nintendo quickly issued an announcement denying the problematic report.
However, Nintendo's delay in refuting the Nihon Keizai Shimbun report may mean that the report has some reliability. Considering that the NS emulator may have a negative impact on the sales of **NS, it makes sense for Nintendo to sue the Yuzu developer at this time.
