El abogado de Nintendo levanta la tapa al enfoque de la piratería y la emulación

Autor:Kristen Actualizar:Feb 28,2025

La postura agresiva de Nintendo contra la emulación y la piratería está bien documentada. Acciones legales recientes destacan esto, incluido el acuerdo de $ 2.4 millones con los desarrolladores de emuladores de Yuzu en marzo de 2024, el cese del desarrollo de Ryujinx en octubre de 2024 después de la intervención de Nintendo, y el asesoramiento legal que impide una liberación de vapor total para el emulador de delfines en 2023 debido a la presión de Nintendo. El infame caso 2023 contra Gary Bowser, que involucra la venta de dispositivos que evitó la seguridad de Nintendo Switch, resultó en una deuda de $ 14.5 millones.

Ahora, un abogado de patentes de Nintendo, Koji Nishiura, ha arrojado luz sobre la estrategia legal de la compañía. Hablando en Tokyo Esports Festa 2025, Nishiura aclaró que si bien los emuladores no son inherentemente ilegales, su uso puede volverse ilegal dependiendo de cómo funcionen. Específicamente, los emuladores que copian programas de juegos o deshabilitan las medidas de seguridad de la consola pueden infringir las leyes de derechos de autor, principalmente bajo la Ley de Prevención de la Competencia de Japón (UCPA). Sin embargo, este acto limita el alcance legal de Nintendo fuera de Japón.

Nishiura citó la tarjeta "R4" de Nintendo DS como ejemplo. Este dispositivo permitió a los usuarios evitar la seguridad y jugar juegos pirateados. Después de una demanda que involucró a Nintendo y a otras 50 compañías de software, el R4 se prohibió efectivamente en Japón en 2009.

Además, Nishiura señaló que las herramientas que facilitan las descargas de software pirateadas dentro de los emuladores, denominadas "aplicaciones de alcance" en la ley japonesa, también violan los derechos de autor. Utilizó ejemplos como el "Freeshop" del 3DS y el "Tinfoil" del Switch como ilustraciones.

La demanda de Yuzu enfatiza aún más las preocupaciones de Nintendo, alegando un millón de instancias de The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Piracy facilitada por el Patreon del emulador, que generó $ 30,000 mensualmente para sus desarrolladores a través de características premium y acceso temprano.

As of now, there is no official announcement from Larian Studios or any major publisher confirming that Divinity: Original Sin 2 will receive a free upgrade for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or Nintendo Switch 2.
However, here’s what is known:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has already been released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch (with enhanced versions on the Switch OLED and Switch 2).
The enhanced version of the game for Nintendo Switch 2 (or the upcoming Switch 2 hardware) has not been officially confirmed by Nintendo or Larian Studios.
The game was initially released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Later, a next-gen upgrade was released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which included performance improvements, higher resolution, and faster load times. This was not a free upgrade—it required purchasing the new-gen version separately, though players who owned the original on those platforms could get it at a discount.
For the Nintendo Switch, an enhanced version was released in 2022 (for Switch OLED and later for Switch 2), but again, not as a free upgrade.

So, while fans are hopeful for a free upgrade across all new platforms, including a potential free upgrade for the Switch 2, no such official free update has been announced.
👉 Bottom line: Divinity: Original Sin 2 has received enhanced versions on new hardware, but not as free upgrades. Always check official sources like Larian Studios’ website or platform-specific announcements (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) for the latest.
Stay tuned—Larian often surprises fans with new content, but as of now, a free upgrade across PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 is not confirmed.
