Could you build this?
No Userland code execution on a Nintendo Switch via a game cartridge is security exploit research against proprietary hardware and firmware, which requires specialised vulnerability-research skills.
What it would actually take: Building this means finding and chaining hardware and software vulnerabilities in the Switch's boot chain or game-card handling, then writing payloads for specific firmware versions. It requires experienced console-security researchers, hardware tooling, and a firmware corpus to analyse.
