No Running a Nintendo Switch game natively on Android requires building or porting a Switch emulator, including CPU and GPU emulation and dynamic recompilation. Vibe coding can't substitute for that expertise.
What it would actually take: This requires a Switch-class emulator core, meaning ARM64 CPU emulation with JIT, Vulkan-based GPU translation of Nintendo's graphics APIs, and audio and timing emulation. It also needs deep reverse engineering of the console's system software and per-game compatibility work. The effort is a multi-year project for a team of emulation specialists.
