Major emulation website yanks ROMs after seeing Nintendo's recent legal efforts

A major emulation website has decided to pull all of their Nintendo-related ROMs after seeing the legal action Nintendo has taken after some sites recently. The message below was shared on the site in question.

It's not worth it for us to risk potentially disastrous consequences. I cannot in good conscience risk the futures of our team members who have contributed to the site through the years. We run EmuParadise for the love of retro games and for you to be able to revisit those good times. Unfortunately, it's not possible right now to do so in a way that makes everyone happy and keeps us out of trouble. This is an extremely emotional decision for me after running this site for so many years. But I believe it is the right thing for us at this point of time.

Nintendo's latest push to scrub their games for download across various sites seems to be having a major impact this time around, and I'm sure their efforts are only going to continue.
