Yuzu Creators Will Pay Nintendo $2.4 Million in Damages and End Development of Switch Emulator - IGN
Nintendo and Yuzu Emulator developer Tropic Haze have mutually agreed to settle their lawsuit, with the emulation developer paying Nintendo $2.4 million in damages and shutting down development.
In short:
The Nintendo Switch is underpowered, when it was released it had relatively dated hardware.
The Yuzu emulator allowed Switch games to be upscaled, in some cases it provided a better gaming experience than actual Switch hardware, because of this Switch games got LEAKED big time, including the big time Nintendo releases.

For now there's still Ryujinx. We'll see how long they last.
Emulators allow people to mod switch games, play at higher/more consistent frame rates, have digital copies that can't be taken away by Nintendo, and consolidate their games onto one portable device like the Steam Deck.
If they would release PC versions of their games and sell them on Steam, a lot less people would be interested in emulation.

I agree, Nintendo keeps the pirate ships at sea.
It doesn't matter if you're into modern games or classic games, Nintendo will keep you on the pirate ship with their shitty service.
Now as it relates to the Switch, they choose not to compete with Sony or Microsoft, so they have release the Switch underpowered to keep it cost-competitive but also causes it to age quicker and from what I've seen (I don't own a Switch) the last few releases have had less than stellar performances on native hardware.
What does Nintendo do next time? They haven't competed directly Sony and Microsoft since the GameCube era?
Yuzu had to shutdown ey'thang.............................Nintendo aint fuckin around......
"Hello yuz-ers and Citra fans:
We write today to inform you that yuzu and yuzu’s support of Citra are being discontinued, effective immediately.
yuzu and its team have always been against piracy. We started the projects in good faith, out of passion for Nintendo and its consoles and games, and were not intending to cause harm. But we see now that because our projects can circumvent Nintendo’s technological protection measures and allow users to play games outside of authorized hardware, they have led to extensive piracy. In particular, we have been deeply disappointed when users have used our software to leak game content prior to its release and ruin the experience for legitimate purchasers and fans.
We have come to the decision that we cannot continue to allow this to occur. Piracy was never our intention, and we believe that piracy of video games and on video game consoles should end. Effective today, we will be pulling our code repositories offline, discontinuing our Patreon accounts and Discord servers, and, soon, shutting down our websites. We hope our actions will be a small step toward ending piracy of all creators’ works.
Thank you for your years of support and for understanding our decision."

Come on fam, not on the main board...
For real.
Nintendo made these niggas fold for $2.4 million and they got $12 million out of another couple a few years back.
Go see Marie from the group home if you need help with that.
Nintendo is committed to mid-level gaming systems moving forward......
Their new rumored mid-level system may be released this Xmas season (a year before rumored new/upgraded systems from Sony and Xbox)
The wii, wii-u and switch have been wildly successful with a better profit margin versus going high powered ( Sony, Xbox)
Allegedly, Xbox is going all cloud in the next 10 or so yrs, their "systems" will be glorified SlingPlayers for gaming......
Now that high level Nvidia GPUs can be utilized "in cloud" and more reliable high speed internet is becoming common..... hell a damn firestick might be all you need to play GTA6 in 4K if Xbox has their way......
You right.
