Could you build this?
No Recompiling Metroid Prime 4 for PC means reverse-engineering a proprietary Nintendo Switch binary and reimplementing its engine, which requires specialized low-level and reverse-engineering expertise and carries serious legal exposure.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a static or dynamic recompiler that lifts ARM64 code to a host platform, plus reimplementation of the Switch's graphics API (Vulkan/NVN translation) and OS services. Game data must be extracted and handled carefully. This takes experienced reverse engineers and graphics programmers working over long timelines, and it raises copyright and distribution issues.
