Nintendo issues DMCA takedown notices to multiple Switch emulator repositories on GitHub
– GitHub repositories for several Switch emulators (Citron, Eden, Kenji-X) received takedown notices filed under the US DMCA.
– The takedown notice warned repositories that did not comply would be disabled and gave affected projects one day to comply.
– Nintendo’s latest DMCA notices were limited to content hosted on GitHub and did not target emulators on other servers or repository sites.
– Some emulator developers confirmed the DMCA takedown notices from Nintendo and GitHub were legitimate.
– Users were encouraged to make backups of what they downloaded following the takedowns.
– In 2024 Nintendo settled with Tropic Haze (Yuzu) for $2.4 million; Yuzu ceased development and handed websites to Nintendo.
– In September 2025 Nintendo settled with Modded Hardware for $2 million and a permanent injunction against the company was enforced.
