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.
Super Mario Odyssey was the Nintendo Switch’s debut for the franchise, and we saw our red-hatted friend don a new piece of gear that doubled as his new sidekick, Cappy. With so many characters getting some prominent screen time, Luigi felt completely uninvited to this party. That’s why we can’t help but think that Nintendo has something special cooked up for him in Super Mario Odyssey 2.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.
Tokyo Xanadu eX+ has launched on Switch and includes a large helping of new content, including new characters and bosses.
This one is always for sale on PS4 and I never got around to get it, is it any good?
Holy crap Nintendo, chill for a second will you, they haven't burned your studios
Nintendo this isn't the end of emulators for switch, hydra situation will come and piracy won't end its inevitable L on the Part of people attempting to stop it. Unless the internet can auto delete everything or companies can be more understanding once on the internet it'll never go away.
Ryujinx is available, and I'm sure other Switch emulators will be made. The thing is Nintendo will never stop piracy not now, and not in the future. Where has all this suing got them? Nowhere. There are still ROMs of their games on torrent sites and Usenet for years and nothing can be done about it, and I like it😁. I have a Switch OLED and a PC and buy games to, and yes I download for free as well.
Honestly, I'm still surprised that they were registered in the US. It seems to be one of the worst places to set up any sort of enterprise focused on emulators. The EU would likely provide more protections due to their much more pro-consumer legislation, while the BRICS would likely not care at all about Nintendo and their lawsuit.
Worse than that, it would probably only be Japan itself. That said, this news is very sad. It's not just Yuzu that suffered but also Citra, as they share the same developers.
Everytime these come about people blab about the emulators and Nintendo finds them
Loose lips sink ships
