nx2android Adds Three Switch Games for Android
Fan-made tool update 0.2.0 expands Nintendo Switch game support on Android devices, with recent additions to the supported list.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Gaming
shirai91 has released version 0.2.0 of nx2android, a fan-made tool for porting Nintendo Switch games to Android. The update adds support for Super Mario Odyssey, Metroid Dread, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Why it matters
The update broadens the range of Switch titles that can run on Android hardware, which matters to players who want to play their own game copies on mobile devices. Bugs still occur depending on the device, and full compatibility with Mali and PowerVR graphics is not yet available.
Preparing the mobile versions requires a Windows or macOS computer along with dump files of the user's own Switch game copies and keys from the user's console. Hollow Knight: Silksong, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Blasphemous 2, and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD were recently added to the supported list.
