Hacking Question playing local multiplayer with legit users has risks?

[aos10]

so, i was thinking
if i played Mario tennis Aces with a pirated copy on my switch, and my friends has legit not hacked switch with a copy of the game, can i play with them without connecting to the internet, just by enabling wifi? or i must connect to the same network they are connecting to it?
also, are they effected by me? will nintendo ban them or something like that?

This might be an extra step of paranoia. Even if your friend is violating the terms of service, Nintendo cannot assume you are aware of that and subsequently ban you. For all you know, they could have lied to you about getting the $60 to buy the game overnight. But Nintendo still reserves the right to ban your friend if they go online so...

what about playing local multiplayer.

I don't see why they would ban your friend, your friend didn't violate any tos or did anything wrong whatsoever.

Playing local multiplayer should still leave whoever is not hacking safe because, again, you have no idea what your friend did to their console. Your friend is already taking a risk by pirating a game and playing it (thereby letting the Switch log whatever data it wants that can lead to a ban). Local play should not increase this risk because it requires nothing additional from a headerless dump that can be tracked to it being a dump in the first place.

tl;dr Playing a backup locally is about on the same ban-level as playing a backup offline. And your friend won't get banned for playing a backup with you.

No, i meant they have a legit copy of the game, and their switch is not modded.

My other question was can i play with them without connecting to the same router?
Meaning, can my switch connect to their switch directly?

Yeah I reread your original post and amended my answer already so my bad.

For your other question, local play does not involve connecting online so you can connect to your friend's Switch without Wi-Fi settings. You just cannot be in Airplane Mode.
