Could you build this?

No Running Switch 2 games natively on Android requires emulating proprietary console hardware and GPU instructions on Adreno, which is deep low-level systems and reverse-engineering work.

What it would actually take: A real version would need a CPU and GPU emulator (ARM64 JIT, shader translation to Vulkan), reverse-engineered console firmware and kernel interfaces, and performance tuning for mobile GPUs. This takes years of specialized emulator development rather than vibe coding.
