This variation in possession was flagged on the r/Ryujinx Reddit discussion board by consumer XeClutch, sharing a screenshot of the WHOIS database web site which positions Nintendo of America because the emulator’s predominant ‘Registrant Contact’.

In fact, the emulator website itself is not useful. Shortly after the announcement that it could be shut down, the Ryujinx website stopped providing emulator downloads, although the area remained reside. Whereas the positioning nonetheless masses nothing, we would think about that Nintendo’s formal possession of it’s a precautionary measure to stop it from getting used for emulator downloads sooner or later.
