It's not going to happen, all of these new recompilations are only possible with AI. The number of downvotes isn't going to change that fact.

All of these are old, fairly simple games. Nobody can port a Switch game to PC by hand.
They can be done without AI. Mario 64 has been out for years.
Just gotta wait 20 years.. and hope someone is crazy enough to pick up the project and never give it up. And now also hope that person is so insane that they do it by hand inststead of using tools that make it easy and fast.
People can port old, much simpler games by hand and even then it takes years of community effort. Something like Smash Ultimate is never going to be ported without AI.
