I originally thought this wasn’t possible, but I’m surprised that Switch emulation is now possible on a Mac, back then I wasn’t able to play Wii U and Switch games on my Mac, but now with Cemu and Ryujinx being usable, I can see improvements coming to these for plenty of games in the future

[@crow_g1639]

depends most of the games in switch are Made by different companies meaning some games will be compatible with the app while other might not, the Nintendo games such as BOFTW, Mario kart 8, etc will probably get improved in the future but other games such as the Witcher, doom, etc will still suffer because every company made the game differently

[@the7percentsolution]

I have a late 2018 Mac Mini and I just recently discovered I could play Wii U games. Some can work perfectly like New Super Mario Bros, the HD versions of Zelda Windwaker and Twilight Princess, and Star Fox Zero. Some other games will load but they're massively slowed down. Breath of the Wild was one of those and I'm just amazed that it loaded and played despite the slow down. I can't even imagine what gaming will be like on one of the new Mac Minis. I'm so excited for the next time I upgrade!

1x speed from base M1 I did not expect, this is actually insane. At this point, getting a Switch is just dumb. Archaic hardware when you can buy a copy and enjoy the games with better quality everywhere else (outside multiplayer and shader compilation, which only bothers the first 30 min of gaming). Better put Switch money into a Steam Deck.
