Didn’t the got caught selling roms downloaded from the internet (instead of making their own dumps) some years ago?
Yeah duh. How is this news?
I don’t understand why Nintendo doesn’t just make an emulator for everything before switch and then sell the roms on their own store.
They could make cash out of it very easily and I doubt it would even eat into the new console sales or sales of older games on it.
You all never really hear your own bullshit do you? Pay for your luxury hobby dumb dorks.
This is the dumbest “gotcha” ever. Nintendo has been doing emulation for ages now (Virtual Console anyone?).
Nintendo’s lawsuits against Switch emulator developers are primarily motivated by the fact that these emulators are overwhelmingly used to play pirated ROMs. This does not imply that there is any inherent problem with Nintendo using emulators for its own internal purposes.
No shit lol? You can’t violate your own intellectual property rights
Nintendo, like any company, has a duty to protect its intellectual property, which is why it went after that Switch emulator so aggressively. Nintendo can do whatever it wants to emulate its own software, and in fact has since at least the GBA days.
The people that are already pushing this as some sort of news are so stupid it hurts.
Some of the comments here really make me lose hope for humanity
I suspect ryujinx will be making a reappearance as Nintendo’s ‘own’ switch emulation in future
The games re coded and made on a PC. So in theory every console developer uses emulation
