Could you build this?

No Static recompilation of a Switch game for Android demands deep reverse engineering of console binaries, custom compiler toolchains, and GPU shader translation, which vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: A real version requires lifting Switch ARM64 code to native Android code, reimplementing Nintendo OS services (NVN graphics API, audio, input, filesystem) and translating shaders to Vulkan or OpenGL ES. It demands low-level systems expertise and emulator-development experience, and it is legally sensitive because it depends on user-supplied game files.
