Summary
401 GitHub repositories tied to Nintendo Switch emulators were taken down in a one-day DMCA sweep, with Suyu accounting for 311 of the removals.
Nintendo’s notices said the repositories offered or linked to emulators that circumvent Switch technological protection measures to run illegal copies of games.
Skyline lost 29 repositories and MonoNX 17, showing the crackdown reached beyond Suyu to Android and C#-based emulator projects.
Skyline had ended development in 2023 and Yuzu was hit in 2024, but forks kept both projects alive online, underscoring how Nintendo’s enforcement keeps chasing revived codebases.
