With Nintendo Switch emulators still being in their infancy, it will take a while for the Switch version of the game to be emulated properly.

　　Cemu 1.17.1 is now available only for Patreon supporters. The public release is scheduled for February 7th. More information on the emulator can be found on its official website.
