Ok, so I’m not gonna buy anything from Nintendo anymore. Got it.
You already didn't.
Let's be real here, they weren't shut down for being an emulator, they were shut down for charging money and making bank, while also planning a parallel paid online service. All the other emulator projects are trucking along just fine, even if Nintendo hates some of them for decades by now.
Exactly. Ryujinx is fine, so if you're already morally fine pirating you can - happily, I suppose - go ahead. Emulators for Nintendo stuff are a dime a dozen, and Nintendo isn't doing shit about them.
Unless they make one for commercial purposes. See also: R4 cards.
