Nintendo’s Emulator Crackdown May be Because Switch 2 is Coming With a Feature That Makes it Superior to PS6, Next-Gen Xbox

Nintendo has recently made waves with the announcement that its upcoming console, likely the Switch 2, will be backward compatible with the previous console. This revelation has sparked excitement among fans who are eager to continue playing their favorite titles from the Switch and older systems. It also provided an important clue about why the company has recently intensified its legal actions against emulator companies and piracy.

These crackdowns also lead to another speculation that the company is gearing up for something bigger with the Switch 2. What if the new console could introduce built-in mod support as a core feature? This would be a bold move as it gives players the ability to create, modify, and share their own content directly on the system. Given the company’s history of innovation, it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds.
