No Static recompilation of a commercial console game requires deep reverse engineering of proprietary binaries, which is specialized and legally fraught.
What it would actually take: The work involves disassembling and lifting Switch ARM64 machine code into C or C++, emulating console OS services, and writing a graphics backend (Vulkan). It takes expert reverse engineers with years of experience, and it needs the game's assets and binaries, which legally must come from the owner.
