RyujiNX, one of the two major open-source emulators for Nintendo Switch, progresses spectacularly. While this is a new emulator, that has been under development for around two months, it can now boot the Nintendo Switch exclusive, Splatoon 2.
Of course the game is not playable at all in the current version of RyujiNX, however this is an incredible milestone towards emulating Nintendo’s system. We don’t know when RyujiNX will be able to run other Nintendo Switch exclusives – or even Splatoon 2 – at a lock 30fps, however things look extremely good.
We are also certain that the second emulator for Nintendo Switch, yuzu, will also be able to boot Splatoon 2 shortly. After all, both of these emulators are open-sourced so it makes sense to ‘borrow‘ some tricks and features that one emulator has implemented and vice versa.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
