I don't know if anybody knows this, but Nintendo's aggressive tirade on emulators and fangames is a symptom of Japan's strict copyright laws, given that it's a Japanese company and one of those that follow it to its words.

That's why Sega was so notorious for shutting down fan projects as well in the past (they have since softened their stance however, provided projects are non-commercial), although I don't think it's the entire story. Sony lost against the groundbreaking Bleem! emulator back in the PS1 days and I'm not aware of them being litigious in this regard since.
