do you think that this might be a new strategy that companies will use to try and stop emulation for the average joe?Ģ. Potential WAN show questions (for the mr techtips man and lukie luu)ġ. (i'd say Nintendo may try again with the play store next but I'm speculating) while they can't outright go after emulators themselves (thanks Bleem!), this would probably be the closest they can get. I'd say Nintendo is trying to crack down on easier ways to emulate their games by any ' legal' means necessary. While emulating itself is not illegal, it can be used to play games from consoles that are still under copyright protection without permission, which can create issues with Nintendo and its affiliates. To answer your questions, the primary reason for the ban is related to legal issues with Nintendo. We appreciate your interest and concerns. Thanks for getting in touch with us about the recent ban on emulators on the Xbox store front.
