Why are we listening to this dinosaur still? The ethical considerations are fairly simple actually when it comes to this:

Is it easy to acquire the original console/hardware and software, at a logical price for the consumer? YES/NO
Are the original developers still around? YES/NO
Does the software in question still get sold, digitally or physically? YES/NO
Are the original developers likely to receive any income from sales of said software in sale? YES/NO

If you answered NO to all (or at the very least, the last) of these, feel free to emulate. The law is often unreasonable, chaotic, or simply lacking merit.

Also, a bonus rule:

Do you own the original software/hardware? YES/NO

If you answered YES in the bonus question, feel free to emulate with no moral concerns.

You obviously didn't watch the video. None of it was about actual pirating. It's about Nintendo's blatant disregard of the copyright law by ignoring fair use yet refering to the same law when it's pestering content creators for their fair use.
