Yes, on PC and even iPhone: Citron lists it as Perfect, the yuzu archive as Great, and Ryubing as In-game (crashes; online and local wireless don't work). MeloNX 2.0 on an iPhone 16 Pro Max is reported at 1080p/30fps using under 6GB of RAM, though an older report had it crashing on launch on an iPhone 16 Pro; on Mac, Astris runs it at about 30fps on an M2 Pro, with a separate test using a 60fps mod. On Android, the only report is of Eden failing to boot it at all on a Dimensity 9500 (Mali-G1 Ultra) (Reddit, November 3). Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! have different Title IDs (010003F003A34000 / 0100187003A36000). An unofficial native PC port (Let's Go Recomp, not an emulator) also exists; see the related news.
Settings & known issues
- Ryubing's official list marks both online play and local wireless as not working.
- On MeloNX, testers used handheld mode with Player 1 to Handheld turned on.
- Screen recording costs 6-8fps on Mac, so keep that in mind with test videos (video author's note).
