Well, it's just a baseless speculation at this point, and I'm not good at digging old facts so it might as well be a lie but still ._.

You do know that Sony is releasing a ps1 mini soon right? Some people have said that Nintendo had some shares of profit from the games that would be available at the console. Now, since those consoles are expensive, people might opt to just play emulator games for free, which would (maybe) lower the market value of retro games. Hence, Nintendo decided to shut off emulator sites so people would have harder time accessing free emulator games and sway them to buy the official games instead.

^ This is very unlikely, since most of the ps1 games belong to other developers like Square Enix or Capcom, so they'd be more likely to be the one shutting down emulator sites if this were the case. But can't really rule out the possibility so.....

Well, whatever their intentions may be they still shut down emuparadise so people (including me) are just looking for reasons to hate on them.
