Could you build this?

No Running Nintendo Switch 2 games natively on Android requires binary translation, reverse engineering of the console's software and GPU shaders, and a Vulkan or graphics pipeline. This is emulation-level systems work.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a CPU dynarec or interpreter for the Switch 2's ARM-based chip, a GPU translation layer from the console's graphics API to Vulkan, and OS-service HLE. It requires systems programmers with emulator experience and extensive reverse engineering, plus legally questionable dumping of firmware and keys.
