Yuzu, once the leading Nintendo Switch emulator, has been sued out of existence by Nintendo of America. In so doing, Nintendo has revealed its complete hand, and we have, arguably for the first time, a clear look at Nintendo's complete legal strategy against emulation. In this episode, we'll break down exactly what Nintendo's argument is, and look also at the mistakes Yuzu made which allowed Nintendo to put the squeeze on them. --- 10% of Moon Channel's Gross Revenue goes to charity: including our sponsorship income!
