No Recompiling a commercial Switch game to native PC requires reverse engineering ARM64 binaries, emulating Nintendo's GPU and OS services, and graphics translation to Vulkan. That is specialized low-level work, and it carries serious legal exposure.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a static recompiler that lifts Switch ARM64 code to C or C++, shims for Nintendo system libraries, and a Vulkan renderer that translates the game's GPU command stream. Building it needs experts in binary analysis, compilers, and GPU internals, plus a long debugging effort. Legal risk means the project also needs a clear stance on distribution and ownership.
