One Switch Emulation Dev Is Fighting Back Against Nintendo’s New Takedowns: ‘We Want To Keep Continuing The Work In The Preservation Of Video Games’

Nintendo issued DMCA takedown notices against nearly a dozen Switch emulator GitHub pages over the weekend. Most complied, but the Eden emulator team—whose project is a Yuzu fork—refused and published a new v0.2.0 build days later. Eden's founder stated the team believes their page complies with GitHub's policies and plans to continue preservation efforts. The page remains live, suggesting a counter-notice was filed. This marks Nintendo's continued crackdown following 2024 takedowns against Yuzu and Ryujinx.
