Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a complex modern console game (AArch64 Nintendo Switch binary) into native x86_64 Windows code requires extraordinary low-level binary translation, decompilation analysis, and graphics/OS API re-implementation expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires an AArch64 machine code lifter/decompiler emitting C++ or LLVM IR, coupled with a full HLE (High-Level Emulation) runtime reimplementing Nintendo Switch Horizon OS system calls, memory management, audio, and NVN/Vulkan graphics translation. Building this requires deep reverse engineering of closed game binaries, compiler toolchain development, and hardware architecture expertise that AI cannot autonomously reason through or generate.
