Citra 2021-01-04 Nighty Build for Windows

Citra is a Nintendo 3DS computer simulator that can run commercial games at 100% speed. In addition, it can improve the game graphics beyond their humble Nintendo resolution.

The emulator can display both screens at the same time, although if you prefer, you can set it to one screen at a time by assigning a button to switch between screens. As for the controls, you can use the keyboard or assign the controls to an external gamepad. You can also use the touch screen controls by adjusting the cursor directly to where you want to click.

Citra can run a wide range of games from the Nintendo 2D and 3D catalog, although it is in 3D games where it really shines. It completely transforms the analysis of games to a point where you would not even guess that they come from a portable console. Games like Pokemon Sun and Moon or Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds look really impressive.

Citra is probably the best and most advanced Nintendo 3DS emulator out there. An open source volunteer program that lets you play handheld games on desktops.

The world of simulation never stops moving. While a few days ago we gave you a review of the stunning Cemu emulator for the Wii U, today it’s Citra’s turn, a fully functional Nintendo 3DS emulator for Windows and Mac that can run games 100% and scale 3D graphics displays you at much higher resolutions than the original console.
