In any other game I might expect an upcoming patch to fix a few of these issues, clearly mapping out alternate controls for motion-based moves so they’re accessible to more people, but Nintendo knows what they want, and what they clearly want in Mario Odyssey is for you to use motion controls. But again, the above will give you some shortcuts if you’d rather not. I’ve mostly been using the Pro controller and this has worked just fine, but even in handheld mode, you can move the whole contraption a lot less than you might initially think to get it to work. The movement does not have to be dramatic or prolonged, just a quick jerk up or down or to the right or left. I will say my advice about “shaking” using any input would be that it’s not really a shake and more of a quick flick in a specific direction. So this isn’t a total fix, but it’s a start to get you past a few obstacles if you’d really prefer not to use motion controls. But if you hate gyro, at least the option is there. Homing throw – ? The same goes for this.Ĭamera – You can actually turn off “motion controls” in the menu, but it affects only the gyro camera, not Cappy moves. The developers behind the Yuzu emulator are also responsible for the 3DS emulator Citra.Upward throw - ? No one can figure out an alternate input for this yet. The underpowered nature of the Switch, as well as its use of a fairly standard and well-documented Nvidia processor, have likely made the task of developing an emulator far easier than it might have been. It is nevertheless unusual that a high-profile title for a current generation console can be beaten on an emulator at all: no PlayStation 4 or Xbox One emulators exist, and PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 emulators are still relatively underdeveloped (although DMCA notices have failed to slow their progress). It must be noted that the game suffers from some graphical glitches and frame rates can drop in areas that have lots of NPCs. One developer has published a video showing the emulation in action:

Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu is now capable of running Super Mario Odyssey from start to finish, allowing gamers to beat the platformer without having to buy an actual Switch, provided that they have a sufficiently powerful PC.

Nintendo Switch platformer Super Mario Odyssey can now be played from start to finish on an emulator.
