The first tool Denuvo is offering Switch developers is Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection, which Denuvo says is a “revolutionary technology that protects games released on Switch from piracy.” This new technology could be applied to Switch games, preventing them from running on PC emulators. “Even if a game has anti-piracy protection on its PC version, its version released on Switch may be run on PC through an emulator on day one, thereby bypassing the strong protection on the PC version”, the company said.

According to Denuvo, “By preventing unauthorized emulators from running, studios can increase their revenue during the game’s release window, which is the most important time for monetization. Nintendo Switch emulator protection will ensure that anyone who wants to play the game can A legal copy must be purchased. As with all other Denuvo solutions, this technology integrates seamlessly into the build toolchain without compromising the gaming experience. Also allows for checks to be inserted in the code, preventing games on emulators.”

Nintendo has been cracking down on Switch emulators on PC. It is noticed that in May of this year, the company sent multiple DMCA takedown requests to software hosting service GitHub, requesting the removal of Lockpick, a homemade tool designed to enable users to play Switch games on emulators.

In May of this year, the Switch Android emulator Skyline team also announced that it had received a DMCA takedown notice from Nintendo because of its use of Lockpick. The Skyline team chose to stop the development of its simulator “due to potential legal risks involved”.
