    The actual answer to that question is that the Switch 2 will be out soon. Nintendo doesn’t actually want to go to court over emulators, because there’s a real chance they lose. They were willing to push the devs with Switch emulators though, because that’s the current console generation, and that REALLY pissed them off. They’ve basically accepted that emulators are inevitable even if they don’t like it, but emulating the console they are currently releasing new games for was a step too far as far as they’re concerned.

      Fair, but also the Switch 2 has some backwards compatibility to Switch games. So they may still have an interest despite Switch 2 being out to prevent games that could still be sold on Switch 2 to be emulated via this.
