Saw this on some other sites. I was wondering why I didnt see too much development by 3rd parties for switch 2 specifically. There are messages online to use Switch 1 ATM because the dev kits are not available.

    It is also nonsense. You might as well say that they are blocking devkits because people sold too many third party controllers.

    A few youtube channels over the years have gotten access to devkits. They pretty much all lock instantly the moment you go online because there is a permitlist of IPs that can connect to the servers. This is a solved problem that can be further limited by only providing them to major dev studios.

    That is very much not what is happening here even if we ignore all the insider information about Nintendo delaying third parties. Again, plenty of studios are very open that they have not received devkits and these are established studios that have been around for literally decades.

    This has jack all to do with emulation.

    But people always need to insist Nintendo is doing their shit for the right reasons and blah blah blah.
