Nintendo, known for its sensitivity to copyright issues, has once again made headlines with a lawsuit. The company has filed a hefty compensation lawsuit against the Yuzu platform, which allows many popular games to be played for free by cracking the Switch console, aiming to deter other groups considering breaking the gaming console.

The company, claiming that the Yuzu tool developed by Tropic Haze infringes copyright, alleges that the tool bypassed official licensing procedures, causing them significant financial loss. Here are all the details…

Nintendo Chooses Legal Action Again

While some legal disclaimers on the Yuzu website may not save the developer Tropic Haze, it is said that if a heavy compensation decision is reached as a result of the lawsuit, the company will be driven to bankruptcy.

Leaked court documents allege that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game was downloaded over a million times via the Yuzu tool before being officially released. The fact that the tool’s Patreon account generates more than $30,000 in revenue per month also undermines the defense that this is merely a charitable act.

Platforms like Yuzu, although legal in essence, seem to cause significant headaches for the developer Tropic Haze due to advertisements and efforts to generate revenue. Nintendo, appearing quite strong in the lawsuit, is demanding compensation for all damages suffered and the permanent closure of the Yuzu platform. We’ll see how the lawsuit unfolds. At the end of the day, we hope that all developments will be beneficial for the players.
