    That’s not at all Nintendo’s philosophy.

    They literally included emulation starting with the wii

    So it is more of a rules for thee but not for me situation. Not you should never ever do it but you should only do it on our hardware with our emulators

      I mean, their position is that they as the rights holders can republish how they please, but that buying a cartridge does not give you license to play on other devices. You can disagree with them on legal or philosophical grounds but their position isn’t really inconsistent.
