Yeah, they're jerks who happen to produce good games from time to time and build consoles out of parts that are 4 years old at launch.

I believe Nintendo went after Switch emulators because the new Switch shares enough with the original to make it a cake walk to emulate Switch 2 games with better performance.

That's what pisses me off so much. Instead of releasing a console with decent performance, they rather sue their fans into oblivion, just because they want to run their games @ 4K 120Hz. I wouldn't need a Switch emulator if their god damn console wasn't so weak. It can't even handle 30 FPS in many titles, let alone 120+. It's not like these are demanding titles, either. I've played mobile games with better graphics. There's no excuse.

Totally agree. It's silly how much better ToTK is at 60fps.

If you hack your Switch and overclock it up to the stock Nvidia shield speeds most games run a lot better.
