A "debugging emulator" for the Nintendo Switch, CageTheUnicorn (now [https://github.com/reswitched/Mephisto Mephisto]), popped up not long after the first components were dumped. It was designed to emulate sysmodules with "no support for graphics, sound, input, or any kind of even remotely performant processing [...] by design". A couple of months later, members of both the [[Citra]] and [[Dolphin]] teams announced the release of [[yuzu|their own emulator written in C++]], which was capable of booting some homebrew applications; within a couple of weeks, yet another emulator named [[Ryujinx]], written in C# by developer gdkchan, was released showing successful booting of commercial Switch games ''Puyo Puyo Tetris'' and ''Sonic Mania''.
On May 7, 2024, Shuntaro Furukawa, president of Nintendo, officially announced that the company would reveal information about the Nintendo Switch successor within their current fiscal year.[https://twitter.com/NintendoCoLtd/status/1787736518762881197]

:::Messages from Suyu developers about leaving the project: [https://pastebin.com/6FYdz9Sr kksowo's message on Paste.bin], [https://www.reddit.com/r/suyu/comments/1c1hs3l/the_death_of_suyu/ The Death of Suyu by u/AMA2581 on r/suyu]. The founder, however, states [https://www.reddit.com/r/suyu/comments/1c1tnh5/founder_speaking_future/ they will still maintain the project] as best they can. Their discord server is shut down (see "2024 - Yuzu (Switch) vs. Nintendo" section of the [[Legal Status of Emulation]] page), the project could be considered dead.
