It looks like Nintendo is now trying to shut down almost all of the remaining Nintendo Switch emulators. The developers of the Eden emulator confirmed that they received a DMCA takedown notice. And they aren’t the only ones. Citron, Kenji-NX, and MeloNx have also received DMCA takedown notices.
This isn’t the first time Nintendo has tried to take down Nintendo Switch emulators. In March 2024, Nintendo took down the most popular Nintendo Switch emulator, Yuzu. Then, in October 2024, it attempted to take down Ryujinx.
Since then, the big N has not paid any attention to all the other Switch emulators that arose from Yuzu’s and Ryujinx’s ashes. Until now. Citron and Eden are currently the most popular Nintendo Switch emulators for PC. For mobiles, the most popular are Kenji-NX and MeloNx. And, as I’ve said, Nintendo is trying to take down all of them.
Currently boycotting nintendo … by playing their games on an emulator, lol!
Honestly, I’ve stopped playing their new games. There are a lot of dark patterns in their games, lots of self referential aspects and since the games are designed to run with terrible hardware limitations they are slow as fuck even if I double the ram allocation in the emulator settings.
I would much rather play alternatives which I find to be more fun to play then the newer slop Nintendo is making.
