Could you build this?

No A recompilation of a Switch title requires reverse engineering ARM64 game binaries, translating CPU and GPU behavior, and building a renderer, which is specialized systems and reverse-engineering work that vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: Reconstructing the game's code requires disassembling and lifting the Switch executable to x86-64 with a runtime that emulates OS and hardware services, plus a Vulkan backend that reproduces the original graphics pipeline. This demands experts in binary analysis, compilers, graphics programming, and console internals, with extensive testing against the original game.
