Nintendo Strikes Down Switch Homebrew Project and Android Emulator

Nintendo struck down the Lockpick homebrew project that many users note is, ironically, the only legal way to emulate Switch games. Meanwhile, Nintendo's actions have already scared the developers of Skyline, an Android Switch emulator, into shutting down development to avoid any potential legal issues. However, PC's Ryujinx isn't shutting down.

That is a shame Skyline was being developed so fast that we already had many Switch games playable on phones. With a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 even BOTW was already running at almost fixed 30fps and the much weaker SD 840 was enough for the more light games— even Pokemon was running well on those.

XbladeTeddy736d ago

Yeah but devs didn't make them games as free to play.

Vits736d ago

Literally, nothing stopping you from buying the games. Hell, the tool that Nintendo went after only works if you have the real games and the real hardware.

XbladeTeddy736d ago

Yeah, but they enable you to dumb the keys, which in turn can be shared.

XiNatsuDragnel737d ago

Shame nintendo somebody will come along and reattempt the process nintendo idek if you have legal grounds here.

NecrumOddBoy737d ago

Nintendo doesn’t play around but their legal team feels aggressively anti-Nintendo fan.

blackblades736d ago (Edited 736d ago )

Nintendo is just protecting there brand etc like I wouldnt call them evil as one of those other articles but still they really are being aggressive like ultra plus aggressive. We don't see sony or ms trying to take roms off the internet etc. Only thing I've see and say I've seen was simply patching up there consoles from being hacked.

Furesis736d ago

This is a little different since switch is currently the active console and the emulators work better than the switch console at times so now there is less of a reason to buy a switch for some. For playstation there is no emulator for ps5 or 4 for that matter to cut in on those console sales etc. Old roms aren't that big of a deal since there is barely any money to be made there.

NecrumOddBoy735d ago (Edited 735d ago )

When it comes to piracy, then I won hundred cent agree that Nintendo should be able to protect their assets. But these guys go after fan made content, streamers, who promote Nintendo products, and artist that just enjoy creating additional fiction and Lore.

If Nintendo is not going to release ia new earthbound game, but a really big fan would create another one. Why would Nintendo go after them?

NotoriousWhiz736d ago

None of this would have happened if tears of the kingdom wasn't ripped before release.

jznrpg731d ago

Theft is theft.

You can rationalize anything to yourself but it doesn’t change what it actually is.

Armyofdarkness736d ago

Put the cart in the switch, there you go.

XbladeTeddy736d ago

Thanks for your wisdom Gandhi.

Agent75736d ago

I don't care about Nintendo consoles now. I couldn't care less who makes what console. Just go multi format and sell 50+ million Mario Kart games.

Agent75736d ago

Still, I don't understand the point of Nintendo consoles. As with every company that's out there, Nintendo are in it for the money. More money made making their games available on all formats, including PC, mobiles, tablets and laptops. I have a Switch that's constantly docked, so how about a plug in console that takes cards? I don't want to play games on a small screen.

I really, really hope that this amazing studio will eventually give us one last Ori game, it can be a prequel. Will of the Wisps is one of my favourite games of all time but as for their new game ehhhh.. let’s just say i have zero interest in it but they seem very passionate about it so i hope this review bombing doesn’t affect the studio’s future.

PhillyDonJawn1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

It doesn't even have to be an Ori game it can just be similar. I want them to make a side stroller combat game. Kinda like super smash bros but with ori playstyle

Michiel198923h ago

if you like arpgs, but wasn't a big fan of screenclearing attacks, this is a really fun game. It's sort of diablo meets dark souls.

HyperMoused23h ago

This is a great game, i dont think its fully released yet, but it has a heap of content if you want to get stuck in

BABI-PANGPANG18h ago

I don’t get the criticism at all. From the visuals to the story, music, voice acting, and gameplay, it’s incredible on every level. Sure, some parts aren’t perfectly balanced yet and there are a few glitches, but the game isn’t even fully released. I’ve put around 80 hours into The Breach update already (300 or so in total), and I still can’t get enough.

Christopher9h ago

Majority of the criticism is on the time-gating they utilize in the game that makes it feel like a mobile game. I think his making it out to be just people who leave a thumbs down review without effort isn't really why people are leaving bad reviews. If you read through them, they really hate having timers on so much considering building them in the first place requires you to collect materials to make them, which should be the 'time' you spend and not just waiting for it to finish being constructed.
