The game only launched for the Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android devices, leaving a huge chunk of potential players unwilling to abandon their preferred mouse-and-keyboard control scheme for touch controls or even using a gamepad.

You can join the discussion on the Yuzu emulator's latest update on the OC3D Forums.

Right now, the Pokemon Sword and Shield compatible version of Yuzu is available exclusively to the emulator's Patreon supporters, though access to this version of the emulator will be made available to everyone in time. Another example of this is how a bug fix Final Fantasy 8 was able to male Super Smash Bros. This highlights the need to address emulation bugs within all Switch games on the Yuzu emulator, as bugs within unpopular games could easily impact AAA releases like Pokemon Sword and Shield.

With the latest Early Access build of the Yuzu Nintendo Switch Emulator, Pokemon Sword and Shield have become fully playable thanks to new bug fixes and the addressed softlocks within the two games.
