Fans have hacked the Nintendo Switch 2, and a well-known emulator developer has now created a playable PC version of Mario Kart World. There have already been multiple games released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 so far, including big hits like Pokemon Pokopia and Donkey Kong Bananza, and soon Pokemon Winds and Waves and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake will also launch for Switch 2. Mario Kart World was a launch title for the console, and more content for it is rumored for 2027.
Switch 2 Exclusive Mario Kart World Now Playable on PC
Renowned emulator developer Will Faust on Twitter shared a post showing Mario Kart World gameplay on macOS, stating that this is real footage. According to the user, this was done via nxnative fork, with Faust working mainly on NVN2 support and on syscalls or other conversions. The game uses different shaders and is missing some geometry, but it’s actually a functional version of the most recent entry in the Mario Kart series on PC. The developer also claims in a comment that they can achieve an iOS port in the next few hours as well. Some have asked for a Windows port, but Faust stated that someone else could do that. Some fans are skeptical of the accomplishment and believe it could be malware, and others are encouraging Faust to get a lawyer for when Nintendo does something about this.
