Developers of Switch emulator Yuzu settle with Nintendo in court for $2.4 million less than a week after being sued

A screenshot of the home page of the Yuzu Nintendo Switch Emulator, on the day of the joint filing with Nintendo for $2.4 million in damages.

Following last week's Nintendo lawsuit against Tropic Haze LLC, developers of Switch emulator Yuzu and 3DS emulator Citra, Tropic Haze LLC has folded in only six days. While this move isn't technically a ruling coming at the end of a long court case, the evidence of the original lawsuit was clearly so damning that Tropic Haze had no choice but to surrender immediately in the form of a joint filing, which we'll discuss in more detail below.

We first spotted this update on the lawsuit through The Verge, and their coverage also includes a full copy of the two documents comprising the Tropic Haze-Nintendo joint filing. The first document, "Tropic Haze Joint Mot Consent Judgment", is a 4-page brief with both parties agreeing to the $2.4 million settlement and permanent injunction, which in this case is ceasing all Yuzu (and presumably Citra) development immediately. The second, "Tropic Haze Judgment", is the 7-page proposed final judgment with that injunction.
