Recent? They've been pulling bullshit moves like this since the 80s, when they successfully killed off the game rental market in Japan. To this day you still can't rent games in that country.

This is why it's always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games, and thankfully Nintendo consoles have had a history of being among the easiest to emulate, especially the N64, Wii, and Switch. All three of those systems had working emulators while the consoles themselves were still in their peak years.
