    How would one go about playing it if they don’t have an Nintendo console?

      You’ll have to pirate it, then use the Ryujinx emulator.

      Or you can use CEMU to use the Wii U version of the game.

        Ah cool thanks, with some news articles recently I wasn’t sure if there were still emulators available.

          Yuzu got shit down but Ryujinx is still here

          edit: I’m keeping the typo

            You could probably still find a fork of yuzu, if that’s what you want.

        I don’t spend a lot of time gaming. It would almost certainly be buying it to play just this game.

        Also Nintendo are kind of ducks, so I don’t really want to give them any money.

          You could buy a used Switch and install a modchip to play pirated games.

          But yeah, not really worth it if you only want to play 1 specific game and already have a pc powerful enough for emulating it

            You can also buy one of the older switch consoles from 2018 which are not patched and you can inject a payload via rcm mode.

              Yeah, but that’s a horrible idea in today’s world. You’ll pay a bigger price premium for an old rcm exploitable switch, than you will pay for just installing a modchip in a patched switch. Not to mention the significantly worse overclocking potential and battery life of the 2018 switch compared to the newer Mariko and OLED models

                Yea I guess you have a point about the battery life and the overclocking potential, but the price depends on who you buy it from. I bought mine at a good price.
