When asked about Nintendo’s solution for backwards compatibility with Switch games and the GameCube classics available on the system, the developers confirmed these games are actually emulated. (This is similar to what Xbox does with backwards compatibility).

“It’s a bit of a difficult response, but taking into consideration it’s not just the hardware that’s being used to emulate, I guess you could categorize it as software-based,” Sasaki said of the solution.

They are (mostly?) talking about Gamecube right?..
right?

Or is that the reason for the Switch-Emulator-Witchhunt, they actually “bought” the tech?
