Good luck to those out of touch wankers.
Thanks Nintendo, this shit reminded and motivated me to cancel the auto-renew for my subscription. It is done.
Streisand effect is currently very active on this one. Thousands of news outlets, many extremely casual and geared towards average joes who never new emulation existed, are now all being told that "this thing called yuzu can play switch games for free". Nintendo is shooting themselves in the foot. Even if Yuzu dies, it will get forked and people who never knew emulation existed, now do, and look for alternatives.

In other news, I got a DMCA email from Xfinity today. Might or might not be able a Nintendo switch game. 🤪

The DMCA anti-circumvention angle is scary, it's so draconian they may actually win. Even though Yuzu is open source, not many people want to paint a target on their back.
I wonder if they ever realise how much money they could make by releasing PC versions of their games.
Tears of the Kingdom is great, but I can't help but think how good it would look running in full 4K 60fps on a 55" OLED, with a controller that doesn't disconnect every five minutes.
with a controller that doesn't disconnect every five minutes.
Yeah the joycons are terrible but Ive never had an issue with the pro controller.
That would require effort...which Nintendo is not familiar with
As if Nintendo would actually do this. They'd do it like other Japanese developers 15 years ago: windowed 1280x720, no graphics settings, no keyboard support, no quit-to-desktop button.
no quit-to-desktop button.
When Elden Ring released a patch that added quit to desktop I was so happy. Except I never used it, Because I was so used to not having it.

Thinking about it, Nintendo is now the only company without PC versions of their games, the only one that thinks they compete with PC.
On the contrary, I suspect they don't port their games to PC because they don't think they compete with PC.
That might change with the prevalence of the Steam Deck and other gaming targeted handheld PCs.
I don't need to imagine it. I own the game and it looks like crap compared to it running on yuzu on PC. 4K 60fps is the way. Can't go back.
Any tips for eliminating the stutter, or increasing the smoothness of the emulation? I've got an i7-12700k, 4090, and 64GB of ram and it seems to struggle a bit.

but then nintendo wouldn't be able to shove tons of 6-7 year old hardware down our throats. (the 1st gen's processor is even older)
i literally own a switch, but getting that fucking thing to work with my display/audio setup is a pain. just to get 1080p at 30fps.
no thanks, i'd rather play it at 1440p at a more stable framerate, with a controller of my choice, with the ability to load mods.
Going off on a slight tangent, but what display/audio setup do you have that the Switch doesn't work with? It's just HDMI, like everything else these days.
i'm using it at my desk where i have one USB-DAC for my speakers and one for my headphones connected to my PC.
that means i have to switch my monitor from DP to HDMI every time i want to play a game (using samsung's nipple tech), as well as either running my speakers through a splitter cable hooked up the wrong way to get PC and switch audio, or have the switch on my speakers while having the PC on headphones.
way too much hassle, plus i can lose my cursor on the right screen where the switch is, as well as having to blindly drag apps from there as they start. plus i completely miss incoming desktop messages.
and yes, i watch youtube while playing games. that's why i need PC audio.
