John GodGames Emus has shared some new videos, showing the latest version of the Nintendo Switch emulator, yuzu, running numerous games. Yuzu is an experimental open-source emulator for the Nintendo Switch from the creators of Citra and while it’s still in a very early stage, it can finally run some games.
The games that can now be booted, go in-game and are being showcased below are: Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Gear.Club Unlimited, Code of Princess EX, Ginger: Beyond the Crystal, Arms and Super Mario Maker 2.
Surprisingly enough, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! appears to be quite playable (though I don’t know whether the game breaks at any point after the first missions), something that will undoubtedly please all PC Pokemon fans.
Ginger: Beyond the Crystal, Super Mario Maker 2, Arms and Gear.Club Unlimited also appear to be running quite well. In short, this latest version of Yuzu can actually run games at a respectable speeds.
Unfortunately, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are not yet playable (Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in particular runs horribly and there are numerous graphical glitches) and while the emulation speed in Code of Princess EX appears to be fine, the game suffers from a number of graphical glitches/issues.
Still, we believe it’s amazing witnessing this emulator running some games so go ahead and take a look at the following videos!

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.”
