Now, the Nintendo Switch emulator supports the local wireless multiplayer, giving its users a chance to play with or against other Yuzu users.
The Ryujinx emulator already supports this feature, but the team behind Yuzu found a way to implement this feature in their emulator. Since Switch initially uses the Local Wireless Multiplayer service to scan other Switches using Wi-Fi, Yuzu uses virtual rooms to provide instant access to games where users are allowed to join and create a virtual game lobbie. This feature doesn’t use Nintendo servers and therefore does not require a Nintendo account. Moreover, on Switch players are limited to other Switch players near. Even with a simple LDN feature, the game is redirection wirelessly.
Here you will find a video of the new feature that shows on the television.
As the new feature is released, there are still some limitations. It isn’t compatible with all Switch games. Under the microscope, ARMS, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Luigis Mansion 3, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Party Superstars, Mario Strikers, Mario Tennis Aces, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, Pokemon Lets Go, Pokemon Shining Pearl, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Mario Party, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, and Super Mario 3D World + Bowsers Fury.
This feature is available in the latest Early Access release. According to the team, this feature will soon be available in mainstream Yuzu rework, too.
