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

There's also the fact that their games keep leaking a week or 2 head of release, so people can play them earlier and with better performance by downloading the leaked game and playing on an emulator.

I think Nintendo has a case to make that Switch emulation is costing them real money.

Sounds like Nintendo's problem. They should step up their security to prevent leaks.

As for people choosing an emulator over buying a Switch: too bad, that's how competition works.
