>yuzu is a Nintendo Switch emulator capable of running many games! With yuzu, you can play such games as Pokémon Sword & Shield, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Fire Emblem:Three Houses, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — on your PC.
Regardless of the legal status of an emulator, I wouldn't list game titles if I were writing that copy.
- dathinab 3y agoit's fully legal to state what you are compatible that titles are mainly protected by trade markes so you can freely mention and speak about them anywhere as long as you are not creating a situation where s judge might find that Nintendo customers might thing Yuzo made by Nintendo or any of the listed games are made by Yuzu or shipped by Yuzo or similar
- jzebedee 3y agoIt's not illegal to play games that you already purchased and own. Piracy is just a convenient scapegoat to hobble emulation.
- cubefox 3y ago"Piracy is just a convenient scapegoat to hobble emulation" is just a convenient scapegoat to justify piracy.
- silent_cal 3y agoIf you can find me one person that uses an emulator and doesn't play pirated games on it, I'll send you a dollar.
- pierat 3y agoThats not the problem. Zelda BoTW being released 7 days BEFORE being on Switch, and 60FPS, and better gameplay on a real computer is what caught Nintendo's attention. And with Yuzu and joycons, you can have EVERY game, including their online only stuff. And if you pay for those online only, piracy is the only way to guarantee that you'll keep them. They've destroyed the: NDS, Gamecube, Wii, WiiU stores/online content. They never needed to. They *chose* to.
- aurareturn 3y agoI'd argue that you should reverse your stance. It's illegal to pirate games. Being able to emulate things you purchased is a convenient scapegoat for people to pirate games.
- kuschku 3y agoI own switch games. I do not want to play them at 15fps at a 600p resolution if I can play them at 60fps at 4K. Why should I not be able to emulate them?
- aurareturn 3y agoBecause people are not paying for pirated games?
- ThrowawayTestr 3y agoWhy is that my concern?
- rbits 3y agoBut they are not going after the piracy. They are going after the legitimate method of playing switch games on your PC. I'd argue that MP3 player apps are nowadays mostly used with pirated music, yet I don't see anyone going after them.
- eertami 3y ago> It's illegal to pirate games. Well, there's a bunch of places where that's not true. Then it's a question of morality, although that usually gets unfairly asked of the individual but never asked of giant mega corporations.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoBeing able to cut cheese is a convenient lie to be able to cut people. /s
- crtasm 3y agoEither way I'd argue it's in an emulator team's interest to not highlight specific games, especially when asking for money. Thinking further on it I wouldn't write "Nintendo" either: "yuzu is a Switch emulator that runs your games on PC/Mac/Android - often with better resolution, framerates, ..." is fine - people already know about the games they want to play.
