- The Nintendo Wii U emulator Cemu just got a new experimental update for Android.
- Based on our testing, it runs many games at full speed, but only on powerful devices.
- This is the first official alpha build, and it’s still a work in progress.
This year has been a big one for emulation on Android, and it doesn’t appear to be stopping any time soon. A big update to Android fork of the Nintendo Wii U emulator Cemu just dropped, and it features surprisingly good performance — if your phone can handle it.
Cemu is a very popular Wii U emulator for PC that’s been around since 2015. It has made great progress over the years, with most of the Wii U catalog playable on compatible hardware. However, it wasn’t until last year that playable forks for Android started to appear.
