Yes. Game copiers that are used to copy video game software without authorization onto any type of memory device or the hard drive of a personal computer are illegal. They infringe copyright in computer programs in Nintendo products and infringe Nintendo trade marks. They are also circumvention devices. The manufacturing, importing or distributing of circumvention devices is prohibited under the Copyright Act

Until someone with Nintendo's kind of money takes a court challenge all the way they will keep coming for emulators.

Lol they didn't even go after them for the emulator though. It was about facilitating piracy.

If they didn't give guides on how to dump switch games and actually perform piracy nothing would have happened to them or the emulator.

See every emulator that's out there, fully available online. If I'm not mistaken, these are one of the first that were ever shut down.
