As Russ notes, this is the second strike from Nintendo on his channel. The first, it's worth pointing out, was related to his coverage of a device which allows you to dump Switch games to your computer

[My emphasis]
It should be noted, the only way to legally play an emulated game is to dump the files off a cart/cd/floppy/w.e that you personally own. Which makes this even more egregious, as the video is about a device that could be used for piracy, but is also one of the only ways to legally make a backup of your property.

I feel like Nintendo licence agreement for all the games would have some clause your not allow to dump or run the game on other hardware.

I'm sure they do, however, as with 90%+ of most EULA's contents, that wouldn't stand up as legally binding in a fair number of countries.

I can legally play however I please, payment or not. It's distribution where they get you.
