With Super Mario Odyssey being playable on Yuzu, it seems like it will only be a matter to time before more games are playable on the emulator. Even discounting the emulator's graphical bugs, Yuzu is currently not fast enough to act as a Switch replacement.

For reference, Super Mario Odyssey runs with a 60FPS target on Switch. In the video below, BSoD Gaming proved that Yuzu was able to play Super Mario Odyssey, but also confirmed that the emulator could not offer the same performance levels as a Nintendo Switch, with a GTX 1080 Ti and an overclocked i7-8700K offering framerates that were typically in the 40s. Right now, the best place to play Nintendo Switch games is on the console itself, something which could be said for any of today's consoles. Even so, this is an insane amount of progress for an emulator that is less than a year old. Now, less than a year later, the emulator can no play one of the Switch's most popular games, Super Mario Odyssey, from start to finish, albeit with both performance issues and a range of glitches.

If you wish to play this game you can download the Super Mario World Odyssey Rom by clicking here.Back in January, the Yuzu emulator was revealed to the world, a project which planned to develop an open-source Nintendo Switch emulator which would make all of that platform's games playable on PC.Īt the start, Yuzu was a work-in-progress tool, offering little more than the ability to boot certain games on PC. No new sound or music has been added to this hack. Often times while sitting on Yoshi and throwing Cappy on an enemy, both Mario and Yoshi will be dragged to the target and Yoshi will promptly be kicked off the map as though he were killed. Most of the glitches I experienced in this one were when combining Yoshi and Cappy together.

That said, the lack of limitation on this ability often causes humorous glitches (some of which can be game breaking). This ability is gained in the game as a permanent ability and allows you to possess most things in the game with few limitations. The main change to gameplay in this hack is the addition of Crappy from Super Mario Odyssey which grants players the ability to possess objects and enemies and use their unique abilities to their benefit. Super Mario World Odyssey plays nearly identically to the original game and maintains its charm while aiming for interesting and challenging maps in the vein of SMWs award winning level design.
