And this reveals the real reason Nintendo came after Switch emulators - to buy some extra time before Switch 2 gets properly emulated.

If only anyone been able to establish this as a credible defense in court.

"This is my IP" is an absolutely valid defense in court. There have been tens of thousands of trials with IP infringement at its core.

Are you aware of a case where the practice of emulation has ever been found, in court, to be a case of IP infringement? Because that's actually the pertinent claim here, not that IP infringement is a real thing that exists.

I think they meant about emulation.

I believe emulation is legal in the US.
