Could you build this?

No Running Bayonetta 3 natively requires static recompilation of Switch machine code and a custom GPU renderer that translates NVN calls to Vulkan. That is low-level reverse engineering and graphics work that vibe coding cannot substitute for.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a decompilation or static-recompilation toolchain for ARM64 Switch binaries, plus lifting of the game's code and its NVN graphics calls. It also needs a Vulkan-based GPU translation layer with shader conversion, memory management and synchronization, and performance tuning to reach 60 FPS. This takes a team of experienced emulation and reverse-engineering developers working over months or years.
