According to the agreement, Tropic Haze “consents to a judgment in favor of Nintendo and agrees to pay the sum of $2.4 million in favor of Nintendo” to cover damages and legal costs.

This agreement in no way prejudges the decision to follow from the courts of the State of Rhode Island, which Nintendo had seized, but Tropic Haze has already undertaken not to appeal this decision.

Initially created to play games linked to previous Nintendo consoles, Yuzu now provides access, according to the Japanese group, to games on its current console, the Switch.

An emulator is a small computer program, downloadable to a computer or smartphone, which allows you to play games initially intended for consoles like Switch, PlayStation or Xbox.

Initially, emulators were developed to play games that were no longer released on the latest consoles, before “vintage” gaming became a market in itself also for Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.

But now they also most often allow you to play the latest games published on current console models.

According to the Japanese giant, Tropic Haze bypasses the complex encryption and protection measures implemented by Nintendo on each of its games in order to then make them accessible to Yuzu users.
