No Static recompilation of a Nintendo Switch 2 game requires reverse engineering ARM64 binaries, reimplementing console hardware and GPU behavior, and it needs proprietary game files. That is specialized emulation and reverse-engineering work.
What it would actually take: The approach is static recompilation: disassemble the ARM64 executable, lift it to C or C++ with a function-boundary and indirect-call analysis, then reimplement the Switch-specific OS and graphics APIs on top of Vulkan. This needs experienced reverse engineers and graphics developers, plus a legal copy of the game for testing, and the lifting pipeline is a multi-year effort.
