Wait what, there is a Nintendo switch emulator out there called Yuzu? Thanks Nintendo!
- It'd be pretty great if an entire generation referred to this phenomenon as the Nintendo Yuzu Effect instead of the Streisand Effect. Or maybe the YouTube Adblock Effect? These companies keep accidentally telling everybody about shit that is relatively unknown yet universally desired in order to not have to pay exploitative prices. Even early Switch games are still fucking impossible to find for less than their launch price. And actually, now that I think about it, the MSRP of the Switch itself still hasn't dropped either. It costs just as much today as it did 7 goddamn years ago to legally buy a Switch, BotW, and Mario Odyssey. Nintendo's greed is the reason Switch piracy was ever big enough to be worth chasing, and now chasing it will cause an even bigger boom in it. Well, that and their shitty controllers. I don't blame anybody for wanting to play BotW with an Xbox controller on their last-gen PC.
  
  Nah keep it Streisand effect, as that's where the term originated, if we changed phrases every single time a company did this, we'd be changing it every hour.
  
  True, but nobody born after 9/11 knows who the fuck Barbra Streisand even is, so they definitely don't know the story.
  
  Yeah, but no one knows who Bob is and we keep calling him people's uncles.
  
  Which adds to the point: even though no one knows who she is anymore or about her giant beachfront mansion she tried to have removed from the Internet, her name lives on in infamy
  
  Damn. Nevermind, you just appealed to my petty side. I can clearly see now that I was wrong haha.
  
  Historians will look back one day and be like "this woman was so renowned for her terribleness, we can trace the entymology of this modern word back to her name".
  
  Maybe they know this banger and think she's a song? 🤷
  
  Lol people born after 9/11 were <9 when this song came out.
  
  Fair, but they still could have heard it on the radio while their parents were driving them to hockey practice or welding seminars or whatever 9yos did back then 🤷
  
  Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
  this banger
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
  
  If gameboy games are anything to go by, prices almost never drop. I remember getting a GBA game for 20 euros back when the Nintendo SD was already ending its end of life.
- There is a copy/fork of it already called nuzu
  
  And if they kill that, it's miizu. Then wezu. Then nouzu.
  
  Turns out it was just a 14 year old who cloned everything and hadn't commited any code to GitHub in the past year. Suyu is the new wave now.
  
  It's not the distribution that they wanted to stop. It was future updates
  
  Yeah that's not gonna stop either.
- It’s getting pulled down basically everywhere so you’re going to have to find some smaller communities or individuals to get your hands on it now. That’s the real annoying part here lol
  
  That's my Nintendo, always forcing me out of my comfort zone to discover cool, niche new communities to enhance my piracy know-how! Thanks, Nintendo!
  
  The code itself is not illegal, so hosting it is fine.
  Just dont encourage piracy, like at all. No linking, no support, and certainly not patching for games which didnt come out yet and offering these fixes early for payment.
  
  Yeah, there's totally not Mirrors around with the original source code that got pulled, and the entire internet having collectively archived it before Yuzu itself pulled the plug
  Also it was the only Switch emulator in existence, there totally isn't another emulator going around
  Also you totally should not follow what I said here, y'know, emulation is wrong after all according to Nintendo
- Not anymore
  
  Looks like it's still available through a mirror.
  
  Imma just put this here, totally unrelated thing
  Also, in a totally unrelated note, y'all should check out this project, I find it really cool
