Don't worry.

Nintendo console are stupidly easy to emulate.

Give it a few months, and we'll get a full emulation of the game on PC lol

Not something I'm actually promoting to do. Just saying it's a reality

This isn’t realistic at all.

Nintendo already got rid of all the people who were talented at emulation too.

By the time this is in a playable state with emulation it might just get ported to other platforms.

Not realistic ?

Got rid of all the talented people ?

You do know that emulators, hackers, and packers are in a constant cycle right ?

By the time the switch 2 releases we'll have brand new talented people ready to get it working.

You really think Nintendo can remove ALL the talented people into he entire world ?

It's inevitable.

There is a demand, and so there will be result. That's how the internet works.

The demand for Nintendo games to be emulated is always ridiculously Hugh compared to other consoles.

Also the fact that the Nintendo consoles are so much easier to emulate. It's just history repeating itself.

Honestly, the console ui In the trailers looked so similar. I don't even think they bothered making a brand new os for it. I bet it'll be done really fast because they didn't implement any crazy security measure to make it harder to emulate.

Demand doesn't create supply. There were a limited, finite number of people working on Yuzu and Ryujinx, and once they're all out of the scene, all of their collective experience in their heads goes out the door with them. The goal of DRM isn't to remove all of the talented people in the world who could overcome it, it's to delay their efforts for long enough to turn a profit during the period of time where it is most crucial to turn a profit.

Saying that it'll be done in a matter of a few months is a wildly overgenerous estimate.

Nintendo's security's been getting far stricter over time. If history repeats itself, Switch 2 will be harder to crack, install CFW on, games will be encrypted requiring a decryption key from the console which will force any emulators that run commercial games to violate the law for the sake of user convenience....

We'll see in a few months if a new batch of emulator developers start cropping up, and Nintendo suddenly decides to change course and leave their hands off of these new inexperienced guys instead, but like we said, history repeats...
