First Yuzu, now other emulators for Android are being pulled or shut down

• A variety of console emulators for Android have been pulled from the Play Store or shut down entirely.
• Some of these moves have been attributed to Nintendo’s crackdown or Google’s recent developer policy change.

Nintendo cracked down on the popular Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu earlier this month, with the emulator being shut down and the team behind it being forced to pay over $2 million in damages. Now, it looks like other emulators on Android are shutting down or being pulled from the Play Store.

For starters, the developer behind the popular Pizza Boy emulators for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance has announced that he’ll be pulling these emulators from the Play Store. The developer, Davide Berra, didn’t directly attribute the decision to Nintendo’s crackdown.
