Nintendo has always been "delicate" when it's something about copyright to the point it's surprising that they didn't take actions before lol. They have recently released NES games for Nintendo Switch Online, so NES emulators were a target, and if they want to release more games from other past consoles, the reason becomes quite clear.

Nintendo has been working with desk and portable consoles since years, and there were moments were they focused more in portable consoles than desk ones, mostly because the latter ones weren't popular enough at that time (like Wii U). Since they relied more in this type they had have to keep upgrading their products to keep this market alive, unlike Sony with PSP and Vita, IMO. That's been like that until nowadays, when the Switch was released. 3DS is receiving less original games (the last ones announced were remasters), making it clear that they want to focus on Switch from now on, which is their first console to unify desk and portable experience, and this concept is what they want to exploit now because it allows them to differentiate from their competitors.
