A Switch modder has settled with Nintendo and agreed to pay the company $2 million after it filed a suit over the alleged sale of modded consoles.
While Nintendo has always been very protective over its games and consoles (even shutting down fan games like AM2R at times), it has cracked down heavily on Switch piracy over the last few years. In 2024, Nintendo filed a suit against the creators of the popular Switch emulator Yuzu, with the company agreeing to pay $2.4 million to Nintendo in a settlement. In the year since, the other big Switch emulator Ryujinx disappeared, and a prominent piracy website was seized by the FBI.
