i've got bad news for you
I wish. Nintendo games and coverage of them are the bane of my existence. Notice how all games I listed are cross-platform non-nintendo games? If I had it my way, I'd not of just stopped at yuzu but the banning off the entire emulation landscape of all nintendo consoles. Not sure why there is such an internet uproar about it (guessing it's mainly coming from people who actually spent money on their stuff?). Who wants to "preserve" Pokemon or remakes of 30 year old zelda/mario games?
The only reason why I've stuck thus far with Nintendo emu's is because, the scene there is lightyears ahead of the emu's for Xbox and Sony platforms. Hopefully, this verdict will stop that massive brain drain that Nintendo emulators create and redirect dev talent to target non-nintendo emu's and features instead. Such as aiding in making android builds for xemu, xenia, and rpcs3 with full online multiplayer netplay feature parity.
For those that must get their mario fix tho:
a) Those yuzu builds are not gonna be going anywhere and still available on archive.org. The build for android was mostly feature complete where most of the gains/improvements still occurring were coming from updated adreno drivers (which is still currently ongoing and hasn't been stopped).
b) There is still Strato emu.
So in conclusion, still a million times better than current state of iPhone. I also believe secretly deep down that despite all the media hoo-haa that Nintendo creates, they actually don't even care too much about it. I mean, if you really wanna eradicate piracy, look no further than the Xbox One. Replicate that and mission accomplished. Some of the reasons they gave in the lawsuit apply literally to every emu. Yuzu wasn't even the first to be raking in tons of Patreon money or running BOTW on day 0, it was cemu. I suspect it was a combination of several factors and events which led up to this point.
Also, am no legal expert but I doubt the dev's will have to be paying $2.4 mil. Probably one of they reasons the setup a company in the first, were in the event something were to go wrong can always file for bankruptcy.
Regardless, all in all, I am pretty happy with how things turned out. :)
