    What worries me is they think they have a case. Nintendo isn’t dumb. And they have known about Yuzu for a long time. Something must have changed recently that made them think this would be worth it.

          They do specify cite the Tears of the Kingdom release and increasing revenue to Yuzu, maybe that motivated them more.

      Nintendo has lost this type of case before. Their strategy is usually to drain the defendant of cash.
