Nintendo is suing the creators of popular Switch emulator Yuzu

[Chrkeller]

The lost revenue argument is assuming pirates were going to buy it in the first place. I'm not defending piracy but just pointing out the revenue loss is probably exaggerated. I've tried a few old saturn roms for fun, wouldn't have bought anything had it not worked.

And part of emulation falls on companies.  I emulated wind waker hd recently.  I'm would happily pay $50 for a switch version if Nintendo would stop being stupid.  Buying a wii u and wind waker today would be via third party, thus no loss to Nintendo's revenue.

I would like to think we all agree companies could do a lot better with access to historic games.  The current state is god awful.  Just look at the limited release of mario 3d all stars....  that is anti consumer and I don't blame people for not dropping $100+ and going emulation.  Luckily I got a copy on release day, so I'm good.
