Yuzu team is way ahead of time imo. They were right to drop it. There is no meaning of jeopardising the entire project just for the sake of a babrebones online component.
A fully backwards compatible Switch 2 might make that a risky suggestion even in five years. I think as long as Nintendo continues selling games through their eShop they'll be likely to come after anyone trying to emulate the Switch.
What were they thinking even flirting with this idea? Lmao
Keep it in the back end for another 5 years when switch is on the way out
