The popular Nintendo DS emulator Drastic has disappeared from the Google Play store, reports Android Authority. It’s not clear at the moment why the app is now gone, but it seems likely that it was the developer, not Nintendo, that prompted its removal.
Developer Exophase made Drastic free-to-download last year and indicated that it planned to remove the app from Google Play and open-source its code, though that doesn’t seem to have ever happened. The announcement came after a Nintendo settlement took down Switch emulator Yuzu and Nintendo 3DS emulator Citra, something the developer said wasn’t reponsible for its decision, but did accelerate the timeline.
Exophase did not immediately respond to noti.group’s request for comment.
