No A Nintendo Switch 2 emulator requires reverse engineering proprietary hardware, encrypted firmware and keys, and a custom GPU/CPU emulation layer, which vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: A real emulator needs deep low-level expertise: reverse engineering the Switch 2's ARM CPU and Nvidia-based GPU, implementing a shader translation layer, and handling DRM and key extraction from owned hardware. This takes a team of experienced emulator developers working for years, plus significant legal risk to manage.
