In short, if you happen to hack your Switch or run emulators, you may find that it winds up getting bricked entirely.

Nintendo is Nintendoing again!

    I mean it’s still important to walk an emulators for current Hardware while we still have modern working examples and can capture Network packets and whatnot but I’m not totally against the idea of Simply holding your insights from public consumption for a while out of practicality alone

      I agree, it’s important to preserve things today because it may be too late tomorrow. Some Switch titles have already been delisted, so it’s good that we backed them up early.

      But I’m just explaining it from Nintendo’s perspective. If the tools we use to restore Super Mario Bros. 35 can also be used to crack Tears of the Kingdom, they don’t want those tools in our hands.

      The more important point though is that it is all cat-and-mouse, and the mouse is winning. We have those tools, and they can’t fully stop it.
