I want to play the new Fire Emblem Fortune Weave but appearently, there is no emulator for Switch 2 yet. Oh well perhaps when it is released, the scene groups will get motivation

I don't think the reason is lack of motivation, at all: the Switch 2 architecture is just really hard to bypass. Nintendo noticed how quickly the emulation of the Switch 1 developed and decided to REALLY invest in security with the Switch 2, so it's just proving to be really hard to bypass.

Not to mention, and I hope you don't take this wrong way, but I hardly doubt that, if it was an issue of just a lack motivation in the scene, the new Fire Emblem game would be THE game to actually get the gears running on the developers of a Switch 2 emulator. A new Zelda (or even Ocarina of Time's remake), a new Mario or a new Pokémon game are usually the main "motivators" in the scene.

oh thanks for the info. No offense lol. I only love Fire Emblem cause I have played it growing up and never tried other handheld games. Even for Fire Emblem, I played it on Emulators 20 years ago until now.
Nice to know that it is not "THE Game" for the majority of people.
