I wouldn't be surprised if true. A lot of those ports do use a emulator, though in most cases they only base the work on a previously available solution in order to avoid legal issues or license it outright.
Let's see if Nintendo answer to the developer's claim and pull it out of the eShop.
they also facilitated game preservation, and pirating is up to the players not the company. So every company who sold cd/dvd/bly ray burners facilitated in piracy as well then? and those mfers who made empty discs are the worst of the worst, they literally sold people the means to burn illegally obtained content on, how preposterous.
Nintendo goes through the worst lengths to make money, taking advantage of every loophole they can find, very unfair that other companies do that as well.
and those people who sell pencils and paper, they facilitate plagiarism...... i think you get my point now.
You may want to gave a quick search on lawsuits and legal procedures against third parties emulators. Nobody here have to defend fan's emulators, they already defend themself in the 90's. Best regards.
"Nintendo has undertaken an aggressive worldwide campaign to stop the production and distribution of pirated video game products."
Maybe they have a legal defense but in these times where it seems like everyone is getting sued and laws might change... it just seems ill advised to make Nintendo aware of your existence.
Just seems like it will be another instance of "When keeping it real goes wrong"
@versusdmc "Nintendo has undertaken an aggressive worldwide campaign to stop the production and distribution of pirated video game products." thats something else than emulators....jesus get your shit right.

And the developers of mGBA Game Boy Advance emulator have facilitated the piracy of gameboy advance games.
With Nintendo currently suing Switch pirates it's a bold move to admit you're doing it elsewhere as well...
