I’m not saying it will never happen but just wait and see where we are in like 5 years. People are acting like they’ll be able to play the new Mario Kart on their computer this time next year
Who knows what kind of nasty DRM they’ve got running this time around even if people can find a way to hack the console and dump games
I agree for the most part, getting a cracked copy of a nintendo game still benefits nintendo (piracy has always benefited large publishers). Nintendo can easily create a tug of war situation with the emulator scene where firmware updates and game DRM will be a constant fixture.
Switch 1 emulation was achieved because we got extremely lucky that the switch 1 had a hardware defect on launch day that allowed for jailbreaking. Usually jailbreaking a console is very difficult and requires a mixture of luck and extremely knowledgeable individuals willing to pour hundreds of hours and now that Nintendo has sent its copyright ninjas to copyright safe havens like Brazil I doubt that there’s any motivation to start cracking a new console anytime soon.
Emulation projects are not free labor so you can crack the latest nintendo nostalgia slop.
Here’s hoping for an early defect on switch 2
