Ryujinx can now load Super Smash Bros Ultimate which was released yesterday

Ryujinx now loading SSBU!

Ryujinx can now get to the main menu of SSBU. However, there are some missing textures and graphical issues in the image above so don’t expect to be able to play SSBU at full speed on your PC tomorrow!

Recently, Nintendo Switch emulation has been progressing at a very fast pace with Yuzu already emulating Pokemon Let’s Go at semi-playable speeds. Now, the people behind Ryujinx, Yuzu’s competitor, have decided to let us know that the emulator is still alive and well after 2 months without giving any updates on Twitter.

This announcement comes in the form of a tweet that shows Super Smash Bros Ultimate, a Switch game released just yesterday, booting to the main menu in a development build of Ryujinx. Seeing SSBU running on a Switch emulator already is pretty promising but no word has been given about whether the title gets in-game or not.

It’s also been confirmed that Yuzu currently can’t boot SSBU but that may soon change given the rapid pace of development on that emulator.
