Nintendo IP Enforcement

Just because something is legal doesn’t mean Nintendo won’t sue you for it

only if they want to get sued by Nintendo...

If Denuvo wants it to be effective, they need low level access from Nintendo. It's not possible for this to get approved to run on the switch without going through Nintendo. Depending on how effective this is, Nintendo would most likely be the first publisher to use it. Nintendo develops many of its most popular games in house.

Be aware that Nintendo will eventually DMCA this and potentially sue them. Nintendo is a mega corp of lawyers.

It is sarcasm. Nintendo is extremely hostile towards perceived infringements on their IP, and go out of their way to make modding and fan content difficult to use.

They're right to be paranoid. Nintendo is one of the few game companies that's extremely aggressive about protecting their IP (particularly when it comes to emulation and ROMs). They've forced a lot of sites to stop distributing ROMs of games for their consoles and I don't doubt they'd come down with a massive life-ending hammer if they caught whiff of piracy in the Switch emulation scene.

I wonder if Nintendo's recent crackdown on emulation is related to this... They might be trying a more aggressive monetization of their past.

Supporting nintendo is the point here I think. Everyone knows about emulators.

Nintendo takes issue with almost anything, not even old youtube videos emulating old consoles are safe
