I'd understand if this was 2013 Nintendo. But we've seen lackluster and broken releases from the once mighty Nintendo. Including, ironically, a lackluster and inconsistent Link's Awakening remake, that ran at its best on an emulator.

We are once again seeing fans beating out the companies that created the games, at their own game.

Although I can't say I know nintendo's public position on this. I always find it funny whenever a corpo argues in favor of the "free market" as a reason not to do anything to improve the lives of everyone, but as soon as someone touches their precious decaying corpse of an intellectual property suddenly it's "infringing on my intellectual property and degrading the value of my assets.".
