I suspect March 3rd people will start trying to hack the Switch and once that is done its fairly well known hardware. However for all we know the Switch is using upgraded encryption and protection and will be a greater challenge. If I was a betting man I would say perhaps 2 years from now we will get a working although flawed emulator as possible. Normally you get a sequence of mini-hacks and exploits before you get to the point where an emulator can be written. Alternatively a different approach can be had where someone hacks a particular game to run on different hardware. I.e. they run Zelda on an android device like the Nvidia Shield. A bit like where pc games are hacked to run on x86 mac's, the hardware is practically the same but the operating system is different this allows versions of games to be run without fully emulating but changing for similar hardware and doesn't require very high performance just similar performance. The Switch in hardware terms could be an android device.
