Best I can do is them banding together to fuck normal people over and extract as much cash as they can
Nintendo goes after individual emulators, which are now even easier to track on an app store. Takes them out, potentially extracting user information for further Bowser sized rulings against the lot of them.
This idea is so scummy and contorted that I wouldn't be surprised if they actually implemented it.
“allows“
They've been forced to and it shows because they didn't even bother with the iPad
Typical Apple behaviour, shitting in everybody else's bullshit pie while keeping their own bullshit pie completely pristine.
By allowing emulators on the app store... Apple Bad?

Huh, I knew that Nintendo had braindead fanboys but I'm genuinely surprised anyone thinks that corporations teaming up to kill emulation is a good thing.

*Nintendo quietly shows Apple Yuzu's corpse in their trunk while staring sternly and slowly and audibly tapping a bloody baseball bat against the ground behind their back... *
Apple showing Nintendo their mountain of cash, then cuts them from the AppStore.
Yeah, I somehow doubt that Apple could be done in like Yuzu. They're in a different ballpark, league, and game.
Apple has make a lawsuit last long enough to not make it worth it money. The worst a lawsuit against Apple did is stopping sales of Apple Watches for a week.

App developers are responsible for the content the emulators can include (which are called mini-apps)
So let's say I am Square Enix. I own the rights to Chrono Trigger. I can release an emulator with Chrono Trigger SNES ROM and can sell it as Chrono Trigger. I cannot have said emulator allowed to run Super Mario World, as that would get my program delisted from App Store.
This is not limited to just emulators though. We can classify the games in roblox as mini apps; so let's say if Roblox doesn't remove a game that clearly infringes copyright; they too will get removed from App Store. (Which is one of the many reasons why they try to remove the games that contain these content)
The wording of the new App Store rules say developers are responsible for any software offered in an app, and there's been a bit of debate going on as to what that means in practice.
I haven't heard if any emulators have or haven't passed Apple's review process yet.

fight asshole companies, fight
Just Nintendo doing Nintendo-things.
Where can I find these emulators? I need names!
Can apple even legally do this lol
there are no laws against emulators. Collusion, on the other hand, there are loads of laws against that.
