I’m now annoyed that I heard huge amounts of baseless speculation at the time but then nothing about this well-presented conclusion of the whole issue. I’d say that technically Nintendo still aren’t ‘going after emulation’ as they know they don’t have any legal leg to stand on, so that stern letter is all they can really do!
