The battle against Nintendo Switch emulation isn’t over yet. The Mario maker got the prominent emulation software Yuzu to cave in, shut down, and pay out on March 4, and now the popular chat platform Discord is reportedly nuking the accounts and servers belonging to other Nintendo Switch emulator devs. According to The Verge, Discord has shut down everything connected to Suyu and Sudachi, two Nintendo Switch emulators that spawned after Nintendo broke up the Yuzu gang in early March. In fact, the emulator developers The Verge spoke to said that they were all working hard to change the code to ensure that the Eye of Nintendo wasn’t on them. It’s also questionable whether the existence of the Discord servers violated anything in the court order, and how their deletion matches Discord’s own policy.
