Two days after its first version (build) was released, the emulator known as juice It was almost taken down from the internet, being forced to move to a new repository and, at least for now, not accepting new users without screening.

Suyu, according to TudoCelular he added, it is an emulator for the Nintendo Switch that had been gaining fame online after Nintendo defeated Yuzu, another extremely popular emulator for the hybrid console, through legal action.

Fame almost brought Suyu the same fate as its predecessor: a representative of GitLab, the repository where the emulator was published, confirmed that he had received a withdrawal notice (DMCA request) from the “copyright holder”, which the site complied with. immediately.

Considering that Suyu works exclusively with the Nintendo Switch, even though the notification did not expressly identify the company, it is very likely that “rights holder” refers to Nintendo.

Is Suyu already dead?



Despite Nintendo’s protectionism regarding its intellectual property, Suyu has not yet met its end, but the coup has resulted in a rather notable reduction in capacity.

The emulator has been moved to a new address of your own on the internet, but the new page does not present any direct way to download. Instead, there is guidance from the team behind the emulator, directing interested parties to a Discord server where they can send requests that, presumably, will be analyzed before being accepted.

The page talks about “preventing spam”, but the intention may also be to prevent – ​​or at least reduce – the possibility of complaints, as Nintendo has a hotline for supporting users to tell it about new projects of this type. .
