Brace yourself to emulate Nintendo Switch games on Android

Emulating retro consoles might be a thing to attract gamers to mobile gaming but what about emulating a current-gen console? Well, it’s now possible thanks to the Egg NS emulator.

Developed by NXTeam Studios, Egg NS is a Nintendo Switch emulator for Android phones. Only a couple of days ago this concept might have sounded absurd but here we are. The emulator’s authenticity has even been certified by other reviewers and the official website offers a download link.

The catch is that you’ll need a phone with either Snapdragon 855, 855+ or 865 chipset and a special controller, the $100 GameSir X2 controller that’s now available to preorder. The controller is required as it apparently provides a code required to run the game.

This is likely a marketing move from GameSir but it means that we will also see similar emulators pop up in the near future that won’t require any specific hardware.
