The yuzu can't play Switch games, and while it may take a while to go live, the team calls Switch game emulation a 'top priority' of theirs.

This effort, still in its early stages of development, doesn't quite have that kind of approval or notice just yet. Just weeks ago, we reported on an emulator project that was on the verge of working with Nintendo in an effort to emulate PC games on the Nintendo Switch. Still, you have to start somewhere.Announcing yuzu, the first Nintendo Switch emulator that does all of the things you didn't need it to do! Stay tuned for more from the yuzu team! At present, however, it isn’t much good for anything other than debugging or running ‘homebrew’ content. A proper PC version of Breath of the Wild would look stunning. Despite their games still looking fantastic, we haven’t seen them look as good as they could. Put simply, the fact that Nintendo regularly has rather unpowered hardware is one of the major problems.

As long as we overlook the whole grey area of piracy. Nintendo emulators do have a point and are popular for a reason. This means that it uses the same project architecture, and both emulators benefit from shared improvements.” Due to the similarities between Switch and 3DS, yuzu was developed as a fork of Citra. Speaking of the project Citra has said: “The project was started in spring of 2017 by bunnei, one of the original authors of the popular Citra 3DS emulator, to experiment with and research the Nintendo Switch. Yuzu is planned to be open source and available for Windows, Mac and Linux users. In a report via DSO gaming, Citra has already begun work on the Nintendo Switch emulator with it being known as Yuzu. It seems, however, that the team behind that emulator has now turned their eye to the Nintendo Switch with an emulator for the gaming system thought to be in the works. For the Wii-U, despite it not selling well as a console the emulator Cemu has been highly impressing fans.Īnother such emulator is Citra which is, with some success, managing to emulate 3DS games onto PC. For PS3 fans, RPCS3 has been making significant progress. We have seen many brand new emulators either hit the market or come along massively in the last year. Sometimes out of a genuine wish to play again, but with updated graphics. A little due to laziness in not wanting to get that old console out the cupboard. Partly due to backwards compatibility problems. Emulators are surprisingly on a resurgence in recent years.
