There's a reason why most other groups on the emulation scene wait for a given console to be a couple of generations dead before they'll touch it. And Nintendo has always been touchy about their property (intellectual and otherwise) I'm not going to argue about who has the moral high ground here, but this result isn't unexpected.
Nintendo should maybe make a console that isnt so easily emulatable then. Why would I ever bother playing the new zeldas on console when day 1 I can play TOTK at double the fps in higher resolution?
Just once in their life, I wish Nintendo would be cool and understand that this isn't hurting them. There is no overlap between the sort of people who would buy games for the switch and the sort of people who emulate their games.
I mean... I used to buy my games from the e-shop and dump them, but now that they killed the second big Sw!tch emulator, I'm not buying stuff from them. P!r@qy from N!nt3ndo is justified.
