This is so cool I can't wait for Nintendo to shut it down

What Nintendo are doing sucks but I don’t see them going after mods themselves. Richard Leadbetter from Digital Foundry hypothesises that shutdown of Switch emulators this late could mean they would be too much of a leg-up in building Switch 2 emulator. Nintendo, in their mind, didn’t have much choice. They don’t understand that piracy barely contributes to lost sales and benefits them in many other ways.

False. They have gone after mods including some BOTW ones

Those cases are consistent with their approach to current gen emulation. You’re not going to play those without emulators or mod chips they went after. Nintendo drew a line that was not crossed before.
