A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

100% it's this. Also probably the fact that Nintendo is currently profiting off of switch. If it was after it became abandonware they probably wouldn't bother. You don't hear about Nintendo going after DS emulators.

They do it all the time, with even older consoles. Nintendo doesn't give a shit.
