The stutters and slowdowns at the moment aren't great, but it's making rapid progress.

If the people behind this emulator can get a stable build out before Bayonetta 3's launch next year, I'll probably sell the Switch and play it on Yuzu.

@JANARIOO's hopes and dreams are gradually becoming reality :p

@Chandoo @JANARIOO in case y'all were looking to try some of the single-player games on the Switch.

Astral Chain and Fire Emblem run at 60fps via a mod, so better than the original hardware.

Xenoblade Definitive edition and Xenoblade 2 don't work afaik, but definitely worth checking out once they do.

So in short, you are asking them to spend more and play more on PC (1)

Yup, unless they want to play online in games like Mario Kart / Smash Bros, in which case getting the Switch is way to go :p

That reminds me, I still have to collect about 400 moons in Mario Odyssey.

I stopped playing after beating the secret bosses on the moon. It's disappointing that Nintendo still doesn't offer any trophies or achievements as an incentive for 100% completion.

Yes there is this Korok collection side mission in BOTW. And there is absolutely no incentive to gather them. Definitely an opportunity missed as most of Nintendo games are kind of collectathon.

Everybody thinks it's free, until they subconsciously start taking emulator performance into consideration during their next PC hardware purchases :p

I don't think anyone buys new hardware based on emulation, just like people don't buy new consoles for bc even though it may seem like a solid bullet point.

It's a plus, and yes before necrokiller chimes in, I have done a fair share of emulation on my pc (including BoTW on the WiiU emulator) but it's far from the primary reason to upgrade.

In a world where people upgrade their PCs for benchmarking and bragging rights, upgrading for better emulation performance is amongst the less crazy things.

I didn't say that it's the primary reason to upgrade (although for some people it can be). But when upgrading, performance of emulation can play a part in deciding which part to buy. For example when buying new processor, if processor costing $200 is adequate for all processing requirements for official work as well as for PC gaming, better emulation performance may push a person towards the processor costing $230 or $250. Or it may be the deciding factor between going with Intel or AMD processor (was more of a factor before new gen Ryzen).

Similarly, before recent improvements in Vulkan API performance, Nvidia GPUs performed better than AMD GPUs for Cemu (OpenGL). So if GPUs from AMD and Nvidia performed similarly and were priced close to each other, anybody caring for better emulation performance used to prefer Nvidia due to this additional advantage.

Most of the Switch games I play have really fun online modes, so I'm not switching to emulation any time soon :p

That said, it's worth appreciating what the creators of this emulator (as well as CEMU) have done, making it possible to play Switch games at higher frame rates than what are possible on the console. Definitely considering playing Astral Chain on PC.

Ofcourse we all know the primary reason to upgrade is office work (lmao)

It is for some. For example, I need a decent gpu with plenty of vram for stuff I do.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
