How is it hypocritical? Hypocritical would be if Nintendo was caught illegally writing emulators of someone else's software.

All they're doing is cutting their losses, they haven't done anything that conflicts with their stance on emulators.

ROM dump people argue making a ROM is proper software archival, Nintendo disagree with that.

The thing is, if Nintendo needed the ROM for whatever reason because it was an archive, then Nintendo would be wrong in saying ROM is not archival.
