Could you build this?

No Reimplementing a visual novel engine for Nintendo Switch requires reverse engineering the original engine's script and asset formats and building Switch homebrew. That is specialized systems and legal work beyond vibe coding.

What it would actually take: A real version would need to reverse engineer the original Tsukihime engine's script bytecode, asset archives, and rendering behavior, then reimplement them in Rust. It also requires Switch homebrew toolchain expertise (libnx or equivalent) and a way to run the result on hardware. Legally, the original game's assets are copyrighted, so a clean build also needs the owner's cooperation or the user's own legally owned data.
