Playing pirated NSP files typically requires a hacked (custom firmware) Switch. The hacking process voids your warranty, and installing malicious or poorly patched NSPs can brick your console—permanently rendering it unusable. Nintendo also regularly bans hacked consoles from online services, including access to legitimate eShop purchases.
