Today on the podcast, we’re talking about Yuzu — an open-source emulator that lets you play Nintendo Switch games on your PC. Built by the same team behind the Citra 3DS emulator, Yuzu has come a long way since it launched in 2018. It’s not just a tech demo anymore; it’s a surprisingly stable way to experience your favorite Switch titles in higher resolution and with better performance — assuming your hardware can handle it.

But Yuzu isn’t just about pushing pixels. It represents a broader conversation around game preservation, accessibility, and the creative ways people interact with software. From fan mods to performance tweaks, Yuzu has built a passionate community that’s constantly improving the experience. It supports features like local wireless multiplayer, resolution scaling, and even motion controls in some cases.

We’ll get into how it works, what games run well, and why emulation like this matters — especially as consoles age and digital storefronts disappear. Whether you’re curious about the tech or just want to revisit your favorite Switch games with a new spin, this episode is for you.
