Yeah but you can't legally play Mario on it
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.
You really got them!
Who gives a fuck whether it's legal?
Please do not swear at me
Actually, you can download and play roms legal in switzerland.
I don't legally play Mario on my switch either
Reported
Please don't swear at me
Reported, enjoy your ban for harrassment
Then I will file a criminal complaint against you with the police.
