This shit never holds up in court - you can’t just sign rights away by clicking “accept” on a EULA. This is a scare tactic designed to stop people before they ever try because “well it says i can’t do that in the eula.”
If Nintendo give you a reason to sue them, sue the ever loving shit out of those greedy corporate fucks.

Never say never in the US at least and never give these assholes corporations an inch they will screw you every chance they can and it will cost the consumer money and time in the end with these shenanigans.
Fair.
I may have been thinking about articles I’ve read about the EU and how they don’t tolerate this particular brand of corpo overreach, my apologies and thank you for the correction.
God I wish I lived in a sane country.
Remember the "Disney can legally kill your wife" memes?
