I’m pretty sure all Nintendo consoles have had a problem with being hacked. As far back as the Wii, people were able to run hombrew pretty quickly.

I think Nintendo just sucks at console security or maybe they are a bigger target due to their exclusives.

Ever since I learned about the RGH Xbox 360 mod I’ve just assumed every console will be cracked and emulated no matter what. People are fucking clever.
