Nintendo and the people behind the game emulator Yuzu have agreed to settle a lawsuit after a short civil dispute in district court over allegations that the software allowed folks to illegally download Tears of the Kingdom over one million times.

Nintendo and the people behind the game emulator Yuzu have agreed to settle a lawsuit after a short civil dispute in district court over allegations that the software allowed folks to illegally download Tears of the Kingdom over one million times. On February 26, Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court of Rhode Island against Tropic Haze, the company behind the game emulator Yuzu , for 'unlawfully' bypassing the handheld-console hybrid's protective measures.

In it, Nintendo alleged that Tropic Haze profited extensively from 'illegally-obtained' copies of Switch games, including the smash hit 2022 RPG The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Now, in new legal documentation viewed by Kotaku on March 4, the two entities—Nintendo and Tropic Haze—have seemingly settled the short-lived dispute. According to the filing, Tropic Haze must pay Nintendo $2.4 million. The developers must also stop offering Yuzu, hand over the emulator's website—and any 'modified Nintendo Switch consoles'—to Nintendo, and not attempt anything like this again
