Actually you can, as long as you own the game and are playing a backup of it.

Very much a thing within the reach of the average consumer with something like the MigSwitch Dumper. You get the game you paid for and none of the nasty bits (other than some emulation pain here and there).

You don't. You see, Nintendo encrypts their games and basically outlaws any way to access decryption keys from your own console. In your proposal you don't even own a Switch to lawfully or unlawfully obtain the keys from, meaning that you'll 100% have to acquire those "illegally".

Not that I care for the record

I own three switches for what it’s worth. I’ve purchased them legally and I purchased the games legally as well. I’m not a lawyer, but I feel like I’m operating within the law here.

Or you're playing a PC Mario game such as the true classic Mario is Missing!
