Pokemon Brilliant Diamond is already playable on PC via Nintendo Switch emulators

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond is a new Pokemon game that will release on Nintendo Switch on November 19th. Apparently, though, the game has already been leaked on the Internet. And, from the looks of it, PC gamers can already play it on PC via the Nintendo Switch emulator, yuzu.

In case you didn’t know, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond is a Nintendo Switch remake of Pokemon Diamond. Pokemon Diamond originally came out on Nintendo DS in 2006. Also, the Nintendo Switch version comes with Pokemon Shining Pear. According to reports, players can switch between them via a hack, so both games appear to be running on yuzu.

YouTube’s ‘jevonrulez16’ shared a video, showcasing this new Pokemon game running in yuzu. In order to capture this footage, the YouTuber used an Intel Core i7 4790 with an AMD Radeon RX570.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond is locked at 30fps, and yuzu can run it at full speed. I also didn’t see any major graphical glitches or bugs.

Now what’s cool here is that a modder will most likely release a 60fps patch for it. I mean, we’ve seen this in numerous Nintendo Switch or PS4 games. And when that happens, the emulated version will be the definitive version. Not only will you be able to run it at 4K, but you will be also getting a smoother gaming experience.

Enjoy!

  1. If your ISP is with Comcast and you DL this you will get a warning the next day. I got one for metroid prime when it came out as well. Nintendo of America and Comcast in America are buddies.

  2. It’s going to be hilarious when Steam Deck deliveries start in a few weeks. Nintendo is going to lose it when thousands of Youtube videos pop up of people playing Switch emulators on handhelds.

    1. Honestly it’s what Nintendo gets for not doing what other Companies have done. I enjoy my Switch but Nintendo reallys needs to move forward and just make their games on PC already.

      1. Right. I think what Nintendo does is a form of tying.

        Tying is the practice of selling one product or service as a mandatory addition to the purchase of a different product or service.

        Tying is illegal in several countries, but tying is so broadly defined that tech companies rarely get mentioned. Even though companies like Nintendo and Apple are clearly linking services to hardware products and bolting their ecosystems down.

      2. Agree. But they also have to change the formula of making a pokemon game. It has gone so boring and repetitive. Gen 7 was good for a change.

  3. As PC players will undoubtedly get the best version of this game, let’s not forget that Nintendrones will be waiting 9 days to pay $60 for an old 2007 game to be redone that will likely have framerate drops down to the 20s. Ouch, that has to suck. Couldn’t be me.
