Nothing Nintendo can do can shut the emulation genie... because China.
A lot of Chinese sff pc/handheld producers (GPD/Minisforum/Ayaneo/Beelink etc)[1] are now creating device with the explicit understanding that these devices will be used for emulation, and are creating devices as such.
even if Yuzu is banned...Chinese will take over, and nothing any american/japanese game manufacturers can do to stop it.
They're crapping themselves because somebody has just released [1] a cartridge that lets you run "backups" stored on a SD card on an actual physical switch.
Each cart has a unique key though, so I imagine Nintendo will go on a big banning spree.
They can only ban you if they find 2 copies of the same cart running at the same time. This hardware, for all intents and purposes, looks to the Switch like a physical cartridge.
I know someone who uses a GPD WIN 3 as their primary computer and really loves it. Seems nice from the little I got to interact with it. I also like how the GPD WIN 4 looks like a giant PSVita lol
Obviously they don't; for one, if someone else is doing it, why bother, and secondly, why link yourself with the effort.
But if they are spending money on creating and selling the hardware, there is no way they won't continue with the software, even if they have to do it secretly.
Not that they will have to, some enterprising Chinese software geek will take up the mantle, the genie is out of the box and Chinese gamers are NOT going to pony up to pay the Nintendo tax, and good luck trying to enforce foreign copyright in China.
Because they know what their devices are used for, here is the video on GPD's own YouTube channel showing off yuzu, mentions it by name in the title:
