Is there a Nintendo license agreement? I’m looking at a Switch game right now and see no “by opening you agree to TOS” language on the box. When I started the new Zelda a few days ago, there was no TOS acceptance.
While most software today has a license, and Nintendo’s online store is different, unless I’m missing something it looks like only basic rules of law apply to the carts.
Hmm, it’s been awhile since I set up my Switch. Yup, if the user must agree to this at Switch setup, then you’re right.
That said a good lawyer would argue every game purchase is by default covered by its own right-of-first-sale and backup copy case law foundation, so would require a click wrap agreement affirmation to contravene that. Definitely that is required for each new game. So I think Nintendo’s not on reliable legal ground at the very least.
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.

Pretty sure number 1 covers it, but I’m not a lawyer.

That doesn’t count for physical cartridges, especially not ones not even made by Nintendo lol.
