nxnative runs Switch games natively on iPhone and Mac without an emulator

The open-source nxnative project turns owned Nintendo Switch games into native apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac, running each game's code directly on Apple chips with no emulator. Over 60 games have been tested, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey, and some titles reach 60 fps with a patch.

• Requires iPhone 15 Pro or newer, or an M1 iPad or later, on iOS/iPadOS 26
• GitHub page lists more than 60 tested Switch games
• Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom and Fire Emblem Engage hit 60 fps
• Needs your own game files, console keys and a Mac with Xcode; builds take up to an hour
