Within a week of the Nintendo Switch 2's first public jailbreak, developers have shown several of the console's exclusive titles running on hardware Nintendo does not make, according to TechPowerUp.
Developer Will Faust shared footage of Mario Kart World running on an iPhone 18 Pro using a private fork of nxnative, a project built to run original Switch games natively on Apple Silicon. The iPhone demonstration followed a macOS attempt a day earlier that displayed missing geometry and incorrect colors, leading some observers to doubt its authenticity. According to Faust, the iPhone build uses just under 6.5 GB of physical memory through a swap-like, file-backed memory arrangement. He said Switch 2 compatibility required additional work on NVN2, the console's newer graphics API, and that he does not plan to release the code.
