Nintendo had 6 years, why now? Can’t have free software upstaging new hardware.

    Maybe the Nintendo Switch successor is going to have backwards compatibility with Nintendo Switch games, so during the early times after launch they’re planning to lean heavily into the backwards compatibility aspect, meaning they need to make it less convenient to pirate their games. It would make sense to attack Nintendo Switch emulation if that was the case.

      How so? Citra took like 3 years to boot a game, I’d say yuzu wasn’t a better experience until 2019ish when audio finally stabilized? There’s no PS4 emulator offering a better experience than the hardware.

      But the switch is basically solved and I assume nintendo won’t change the new system significantly, to keep compatibility.
