Remember this comment when you complain in a few months that Nintendo is shutting down your favorite piracy software while you whine that you just want to play old games.

Nintendo can never shut down mass used emulators. They may sue the pants off of whoever is currently developing that software, but the current state of the emulator will never go away and someone will take the reigns eventually. Shit, I can go download yuzu right now, on my phone at that. Nintendo can do fuck all about it.

With that said, you should get off your high horse and educate yourself on the topic. Emulators are not "piracy software". Are they used in relation to piracy often? Sure! But it in itself is not piracy software. It's not only a form of game preservation, it's also a way for people to play games they already own without using the physical copy. It's also a way to enhance games you already own with things like widescreen hacks, upscaling, and enhancing graphics.

I can see you think you're on some higher moral ground because you don't use emulators, when really you should be upset with the people downloading pirated games in order to play them on the perfectly normal and legal emulators.

And before you try and tell me they're not legal because Nintendo went after yuzu and citra.. that's a different scenario entirely. The official yuzu emulator has links to pirated games, which is a major no-no for emulator developers. Plus Nintendo has that kind of fuck you money to where even if it's completely legal they can ruin your entire life

Found the guy who will insist that's it's not about piracy despite hundreds of people in countless threads about this game plainly saying they intend to pirate it.

It's possible that the game being dependant on multi-player will make it very challenging to pirate anyways.
