Who Are We?

Yuzu was launched in 2018 by the developers at Tropic Haze LLC. However, development on Yuzu was officially discontinued in March 2024 following a lawsuit from Nintendo, resulting in a $2.4 million settlement. When the official Yuzu repositories were taken down, a new team called Suyu forked the source code, creating a fresh path for the emulator with plans to expand its potential.

This website serves as a fan-made archive for educational and preservation purposes only. Weโ€™re not affiliated with the original Yuzu developers but are committed to providing resources like screenshots, installation guides, download options, and a comprehensive FAQ for those interested in Nintendo Switch emulation.
