Nintendo's continuing its ongoing crusade against Switch emulation as the company just dished out a fresh helping of DMCAs to several major emulators.

As you might remember, Nintendo first came down hard on emulation two years ago when it targeted the first Switch emulator, Yuzu, with a lawsuit that ended with its creator paying $2.4 million in a settlement. A few months later, Ryujinx also went offline after Nintendo apparently "offered an agreement to stop working on the project." At the time, the fates of both were seen as a potentially bad omen for the future of Switch emulation, and that future's now seemingly come to pass.
