Hell, Nintendo has this on their Switch online emulator. Are they going to have to remove that from NSO because Sony patented it?

They did, but that isn’t really relevant to the discussion. The Wii Virtual Console is discontinued and technically doesn’t have live support from Nintendo like the Switch and NSO currently. If Sony somehow did get a patent for save states in games, I don’t think it would retroactively apply to the Wii.
