Could you build this?

No Running a Switch 2 game natively on Windows requires static or dynamic recompilation of ARM binaries, emulation of Nintendo's hardware and OS services, and GPU shader translation. This is specialist systems work far beyond vibe coding.

What it would actually take: This requires reverse engineering the console's executable format and system-call surface, an ARM64 CPU translation or recompilation toolchain, and a graphics API translation layer for the console's GPU. The work also needs months of debugging against the specific game, with expertise in compilers, emulator internals, and GPU programming.
