Nintendo Lawyer Explains Why The Company Believes Some Emulators Are Illegal
Briefly

Nintendo has taken significant steps to protect its intellectual property, cracking down on emulation and piracy, emphasizing that while emulators may not be illegal, their usage can be.
According to Koji Nishiura, Nintendo's patent attorney, while emulators themselves may not be illegal, their use to play pirated games or replicate proprietary methods may infringe on copyright.
Nintendo's approach reflects its stringent protection of IP, actively pursuing legal actions against emulators and piracy, and showing little tolerance for perceived infringements on its classic games.
Despite arguments from emulator hosts about preserving gaming history, Nintendo remains firm in its stance, focusing on controlling its IP and preventing unauthorized access to its classic titles.
