Last week Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Switch emulator Yuzu, blaming the emulator for mass piracy of 2023's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and declaring "there is no lawful way to use Yuzu to play Nintendo Switch games." The developers of Yuzu hired a lawyer, seemingly setting the suit up for the first legal showdown over emulation in more than 20 years. But today Yuzu and Nintendo filed a surprise joint motion to settle the suit, with the Yuzu developers agreeing to pay Nintendo "monetary relief in the sum of $2.4 million."
As a result of the settlement, development of Yuzu will be shut down and cease distribution.
