Switch emulator announced, made by team behind Citra 3DS emulator

It was always going to happen, but I didn't think it would happen quite this quickly. The team behind popular 3DS emulator Citra have announced an emulator for the Nintendo Switch called Yuzu, just 10 months after the console first hit stores.

The biggest game on the Switch, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is already playable with an emulator because it released on Wii U too. But there's a lot of excellent games that are exclusive to the Switch, including Super Mario Odyssey. The prospect of playing that on PC is very exciting indeed.

Not much more to go on for now, but the development team's previous work, and the fact that its Citra emulator is incredibly easy to use, makes me confident they'll deliver.

If you have any burning questions about emulation—such as 'is it really legal?'—then it's worth reading Wes's piece from last year, which includes thoughts from emulator developers and an IP lawyer.

Now I won't have to buy a Switch for one game. Though it will probably be some years before it can play Odyessey, que?

You can already play BOTW at 60 fps on Cemu with an overclockable i3/i5/i7. Hell I played the complete game at 30 fps on an E3-1231v3 back on the single core emulator before they added dual and tri-core support.

Isn't the switch version visually better with the souped up GPU?

I doubt it looks better than Cemu with 4k graphics packs at 60 fps.

Unlocked i3 are pretty high end gaming cpus now this generation. Intel made them quadcores with Coffee Lake.
