    Because Yuzu emulated the Switch, while PJ64 emulates a long gone platform they don’t care about anymore. They’ll release a sloppy emulated game on switch for games from that era and call it a day, and get barely any sales. For switch they think that removing an emulator cuts their sale numbers in half which is insane. Nintendo hates community projects in all aspects. They don’t want emulators. They don’t want mods. They want people to buy their console, go to their store, buy a game from them and end it there. Buying a game from the store and playing on PC is unacceptable for them.

      No. PJ64 was around when Nintendo was still actively making money on N64 titles.

      PJ64 never got shut down because they made sure to always keep their project legal. Nintendo could never do shit to them, and it’s been over 20 years now.

        Nintendo couldn’t do shit to Ryu either, except overwhelm them with lawsuits.

        How much are they paying you to blatantly lie? Just because a corporation has billions to throw at frivolous cases doesn’t mean that they’re right, it simply means our court systems are fucked beyond repair.

        Neither Ryu or any switch emulator has used Nintendo code. One of then simply boasted about a leak which got them in a lot of trouble.

        You sure do seen to love a company that hates you. I mean, go try and post a video of you enjoying Mario kart on a switch, see how long it takes for it to be removed. Any game company that cared about its customers would let you have fun.

          If you saw any of what I wrote as a defense of Nintendo, then you’re not reading.
