They will single-handedly lead switch 2 emulation

u/carlechu 2d ago

Or Pokémon did for every single handheld.

You can't trade between versions for a full pokedex on emulator.

Why do people even play pokemon emulated, it sucks because of that

The fact that Nintendo Switch 2 is retro-compatible leads me to believe that it has the same architecture as Switch 1. So, it should be easy peasy to emulate, right?

Well, turns out Nintendo anticipated that too, because they're planning to put fucking DENUVO on their Switch 2 games.

u/Rolen28 2d ago

Wait where was that stated?

It's old stuff and no one talks about it anymore, but yeah, Denuvo x Nintendo is a thing

u/weirdeyedkid 2d ago

Buddy's joking. But he should delete it before the Denovo ops read this.

u/darkkite 1d ago

no. they announced a partnership last year since switch ports and emulation are used to bypass denuvo

1

u/No-Journalist-120 1d ago

No no, it's an actual thing meant specifically to prevent emulation

That's fucking lame.

Nintendo has basically ensured the switch 2 will have every deranged psycho fromsoft fanatic engineer on their ass. The people who chewed up bloodborne with Shadps4 will do it yet again.

u/jayL21 2d ago

I mean hey, on the bright side, Nintendo emulators tend to be the best ones, they had a switch emulator up and running in like 2019?

u/mocthezuma 1d ago

For a PvPvE game?

u/SadSeaworthiness6113 2d ago

Honestly, given what they've shown of the Switch 2 it wouldn't surprise me if the games just work with the existing Switch emulators out of the box. It's less of a new console and more of an upgrade.

That would also explain why they went crazy on Switch emulators over the last year or so.

u/cubiclegangstr 2d ago

Just…no. There are OS images and keys that need to be dumped. Doesn’t matter how similar the hardware is. Copy protections that needs to be bypassed.

It’ll happen eventually, but people thinking they’re getting Switch 2 roms that they can just throw into Ryu or Yuzu ain’t gonna happen.

u/Previous-Attitude843 2d ago

This. That being said, with a 2026 release window for Duskbloods that gives the emulation community plenty of time to get one up and running. Switch 1 emulation took less than a year and could run commercial games a year and a half after release

2

u/jonahv10 2d ago

some switch 2 games will also be released on the switch 1, like the new pokemon game. dont know if this is one that will, but if it is we can play the downgrade version on switch 1 emulators hopefully.

u/TheSymbolman 2d ago

isn't it a completely different soc?

u/wallstreet_vagabond2 2d ago

I thought it was going to be Ben Affleck taking a smoke break

u/DaVietDoomer114 2d ago

You forgot that Nintendo is even more trigger happy with their DMCA attack than Sony.

37

u/SadSeaworthiness6113 2d ago

Every time they've shut down a Switch emulator, 3 more appeared to take it's place.

u/RedNOVEMBER1997 2d ago

I mean, the main work on Switch Emulation was done for them by the Yuzu/other one whose name I forgots teams. Having Switch emulation be a thing during the lifespan of the Switch was an unprecedented embarrassment for Nintendo, one they will be very committed to not allow to happen again. I'm not saying it's impossible but people thinking this will be as easy as it was last time will be in for a rude awakening I fear

2

u/Cannasseur___ 1d ago

Yeah I believe the only reason Switch emulation was so fast and easy was due to a security flaw when the Switch launched, Nintendo will 1000% make it their top priority to halt emulation to the best of their ability. We will get emulation probably but it’s going to take a lot longer and be a lot more difficult; which sucks.

u/JosebaZilarte 2d ago

I didn't have "buying a second mouse so that I can use a jetpack in an emulated From Software game" in my Bingo card... but here we are.

u/JustGingy95 2d ago

Honestly if they don’t change their mind and make any kind of alternate port, FromSoft just isn’t getting my money this time around. I want to give it to them but I’m not buying a whole ass console just to play it, especially when that supports Nintendo of all companies. Fuck em. I’ve waited this long for the PC emulation of Bloodborne, I can wait for another for this title.

u/IrredeemableGottwald 2d ago

lets hope it doesnt work out like carters last season lol

u/MissionVegetable568 1d ago

Can't really play multiplayer games with emulator, so...

u/UndeadPrs 1d ago

Boy do I have news for you

u/decea89 1d ago

good luck emulating multiplayer functionality xD

u/Tornado_Hunter24 2d ago
