Nah. From Nintendo's position, you don't "own" the game. They do. All you bought is a license to play the game on a Nintendo approved console. By ripping the game from the switch dump, you are violating the license you bought by copying their software without permission.

From a practical perspective, fuckem. Your paid money to play the game and if you decide to play it on something else you own, go nuts.
