Nintendo sent a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice for over 8,000 GitHub repositories hosting code from the Yuzu Switch emulator, which the Zelda maker previously described as enabling “piracy at a colossal scale.”
WTF - Rest in peace… I hope no one has to pay any legal fees. Wish you all the best!
The switch isn’t impressive. It used old hardware Nvidia had a bulk of their failed shield project, and they stuck it in a tablet. There were no reasons nintendo couldn’t produce something equivalent to the steam deck in 2017 with their infinite money. But that’s not what Nintendo do. They always opt for the cheapest way to sell new hardware because they know their fans will buy anything from them no matter how shit it is.
Ahh yess they could easily have produced something equivalent to a product introduced 5 years later. It was literally the most powerful handheld of all time when it came out and had almost double the graphics processing power of the Xbox 360 and ps3 with the dock, and still more than either without it. Could it compete with the ps4 and Xbox One? Absolutely not. Precisely because of the form factor. To think otherwise is hilarious. I do think their addition of all the random bullshit nobody uses that drives up price was dumb.
Also, every time Nintendo makes a cutting edge box-console to directly compete with Microsoft and Sony they just lose sales, so why even try?
Most powerful only because their only competition was the ps vita which was already quite old. And the steam deck isn’t revolutionary. It’s just laptop hardware in a handheld format. Noone said it needs to match the ps4 or xbone because that would require lugging a massive cooling system. Its just sad the switch barely handles 60fps in docked mode…
