does the emulator need Nintendo server to play the game?

Not at all. Not even for online multiplayer, I remember Yuzu had some way to play multiplayer (there’s even a whole discord server for this).

I think Nintendo is trying to scare everyone by trying to take everything down and sue. But we have seen that it does not work, it’ll just split the base once again in multiple fragments (with different emulators).

Though, it feels like the development of Switch emulation has stagnated. I don’t see improvements for current games that have trouble running on the emulators (which often both original Yuzu and Ryujinx would fix by time).
