The closure of Yuzu and Citra caused quite a stir, especially since Nintendo managed to obtain user data of these emulators. But Yuzu was mainly free software under the GPL license, so there was also the possibility that it would be forked in order to continue its development. This is the same thing that happened with Yourwhich aims to continue the journey of the most popular Nintendo Switch emulator.

Suyu’s name is a mockery of Nintendo because it reads the same or very similar to the phrase in English sue you, which means “to sue you” in Spanish. According to the index on its website, it currently has more than 76 dedicated contributors, over 25,000 members on its Discord server, and support for over 4,000 games which were released for the Nintendo Switch. As we can see, the project seems to have been born with quite a lot of pressure and may end up overshadowing Ryujinx who wanted to take the throne, but the future is not yet written.

It’s important to keep in mind that even though Suyu is a fork of an app that was quite mature, it’s still a work in progress software, so it can’t be officially downloaded yet. However, a release recently appeared in its GitLab repository that makes them available installers for Windows, macOS, Linux (AppImage) and Android. Because this is version 0.0.2those responsible for Suya believe that their app is still in the early stages of development, but at least there are more ways to install the emulator besides compiling.

Among the features and changes introduced in Suyu 0.0.2 are error handling, an improved plugin manager, fixes for AMD devices, UI improvements, several bugs that have been fixed, and a complete rebranding to remove all traces of Yuzu. Since the discontinued emulator now belongs to Nintendo with its trademark, any use by others may result in a lawsuit from the Japanese corporation.

It remains to be seen if Nintendo decides to take action against Suyubut unless Yuzu’s source code has been declared illegal or proven to have relied on illegal material or been based on illegal material, such as the source code of proprietary software leaked by malicious actors, the company should have no more room to maneuver other than preventing the brand from being used Yuzu.

Aside from this controversy, it’s important to note that the people behind Tropic Haze, developers Yuzu and Citra, weren’t particularly smart when it came to developing a Nintendo Switch emulator that left Nintendo with a free highway to collect data. and evidence of illegal activity, including execution The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom a week before the official launch.
