The team behind one of the best Nintendo Switch emulators, Ryujinx, has released a new version that plays the recently released Sonic game, Sonic Mania. And while this is just a 2D Sonic game, it runs with more than 100fps in this open-source emulator.
Since Sonic Mania is already available on the PC, I strongly suggest using the native PC version if you want to play it. Not only that, but it appears that speed in the Nintendo Switch version is tied to the framerate, meaning that the game is sped up when played with more than 60fps.
Still, this is amazing news for emulating Nintendo’s latest console. Sonic Mania is the second commercial game that is playable in this emulator (the first one is Cave Story+) and by the end of this year, we may see some triple-A exclusive Nintendo Switch games running in it.
In similar news, the team behind the other Nintendo Switch emulator, yuzu, has also announced that its emulator can run Sonic Mania.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

It can probably run on a fridge. Nothing special.
What Nintendo switch games worth playing other than Zelda??
Hmmm, try Cemu , it run breath of the wild quite well
There are still good sources WiiU USB Helper is still alive, reddit it’s your friend
alt.binaries.games.wii & alt.binaries.games.wiiu
No one. I own the switch and do not use it because only receive old games I can play on PC
Mario Odyssey? Zelda? Nintendo exclusives? That’s really the main reason to invest into a Switch…
Mario Odyssey has paid cheats, nobody should support that sh*t
Zelda is already playable on CEMU, and it’s a dumbed down Zelda (just a couple of high quality temples and a ton of shrines designed to be completed in 10 minutes, I prefer temples where a can get stuck for days rather than a lot of super easy empty temples) also, lootboxes, paid hard mode, bad DLC policies. DO NOT SUPPORT
Splatoon 2 Early Access game, poor online infrastructure (very, very low tick rate, ever worse than the Wii U Splatoon) also, online focused game with paid online, do not want
ARMS, too simple and, like Splatoon, an early access game with a very high price tag and paid online
What more?
Oh, I wanted Xenoblade 2, but they announced DLCs before launch so I did not bought it. (if Nintendo launchs a complete edition I will buy it)
Fire Emblem. Despite loving the franchise and being a fan, the 3 3DS games (Awakening, Fates and Echoes) were so casual that they weren’t fun at all, so no hopes the Switch one will be good, also, abusive DLCs
Third party games:
The unreleased No More Heroes, Suda51 announced he was working on DLCs, so I won’t buy it (again, if they launch a complete edition with a proper price tag, I buy)
Octopath Traveller, the only Switch game I want (unless SE start talking about DLCs)
What more? I wanted Monster Hunter XX on 3DS, because free online, so not buying on Switch. I prefer to not play a game I love rather than support anti-user policies.
I actually own Disgaea 5 and Puyo Puyo Tetris since the system launch. Sadly I didn’t anticipated all the bad decisions Nintendo and the thirds did
Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, THat MArio + Rabbids thing is quite nice actually and then some Indie games which are also on PC. Oh and the Bayonetta games of course. Definetly not the best library but it’s growing.
I would say Mario Odyssey is the one people really want to play. Other than that…. maybe the upcoming Bayonetta 3.
There’s a ton of great shooters on the Switch in the estore.
The new Pokemon game
Pokemon Let’s Go. hell yeah. hope emulation is going full speed. can’t wait
Poor Nitenduu…
