EggNS
What it is
EggNS is an Android app for emulating Nintendo Switch games on Android phones. It supports touch and gamepad controls, as well as motion controls, and uses the Vulkan graphics API. The maker recommends Android 11 or later, at least 6 GB of RAM, and a Snapdragon 855 or newer chip, while noting that lighter games may run on less capable devices. Users must provide their own XCI or NSP game files and a separate Switchdroid runtime folder; EggNS does not supply games. Listed features include cloud save backup and sharing, cloud patches, game sharing, and cloud game settings. The maker says game sharing can let another person start a game remotely without downloading it to their phone. Third-party login options include WeChat, Facebook, and Twitter. The quickstart guide names the GameSir-X2 Type-C controller, with later updates listing X3 and additional controllers. The app has a free plan and is available through Google Play, Baidu Drive, and the maker’s download page. Its privacy policy describes collection of account details and usage-related data, and in-app account cancellation.
