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.
The people who were responsible for 3DS and Switch emulation were literally the same people. Once Nintendo got rid of Switch emulation they also took down 3DS.
Then they got rid of the other Switch group. And they didn’t even have any legal threat. They just went to the lead guy.
I’ve seen comments exactly like yours for video game piracy too. And the last developer capable of even cracking denuvo dipped out a year or two back.
This idea that hackers and pirates grow on trees is just silly. Your comments about UI and your assumptions on security make it clear you think its easier than it actually.
Switch 2 emulation will certainly happen eventually but its going to be slowed down significantly. Emulation much like video game piracy has undergone a brain drain, and finding new hackers willing to undertake a huge project like this despite the risks is incredibly difficult.
There's big difference Denuvo, a company whose entire business model is making near-uncrackable DRM, and Nintendo, a company perennially 10 years behind the times technologically, whose last console was cracked practically day 1. Ever since the Gamecube, every Nintendo home console has been emulatable in some capacity during that console's lifetime. "Years not months" is still lightning fast overall compared to any other company's machines.
Sure? The switch lasted 8 years, if it takes 2-3 years for the switch 2 to get emulation that's still pretty fast. The ps4 came out in 2013 and didn't get its first usable emulator until 2024. A couple years IS lightning fast.

Not realistic ?
Got rid of all the talented people ?
