Could you build this?
No A native iPhone port of a commercial Nintendo game requires reverse-engineering and re-implementing a proprietary game engine and binary formats, which is far beyond vibe coding.
What it would actually take: A real version would need to decompile or emulate the original game's code and assets, then reimplement the engine natively for iOS. That takes low-level reverse-engineering, console architecture knowledge, and graphics and audio engine expertise. It also raises serious IP and distribution issues.
