Nintendo has filed fresh DMCA requests targeting the GitHub repositories of 13 Switch emulator projects, continuing a crackdown that intensified last year. The removal calls, issued on a recent Friday, affected a mix of projects tied to Yuzu and independent efforts; at least one developer responded by insisting development would carry on. This move follows prior high-profile removals that began in 2024.

  • Number of projects targeted: 13 emulator pages on GitHub were named in the notice.
  • Emulators listed: Citron, Eden, Kenji-NX, MeloNX, Pine, Pomelo, Ryubing, Ryujinx, Skyline, Sudachi, Sumi, Suyu and any still dependent on Yuzu.
  • Context: Nintendo stepped up enforcement in 2024 after earlier removals of projects including Yuzu and the 3DS emulator Citra, and this action continues that trend.
  • Developer response: At least one team has publicly indicated it plans to continue development despite the takedown pressure.
