Nintendo Switch games running natively on Apple TV using Claude Code port

A Redditor has unveiled an open-source project enabling Switch and Switch 2 games to natively run on Apple TV. Currently, Super Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing: New Horizons are functioning, with Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in development. TVport, created by FloatingFalafel, recompiles Nintendo games from the Switch and Switch 2 for Apple TV, and has been shared on GitHub.

Three games have been ported thus far, though one is still a work in progress. Most games run similarly on the Switch, but some require texture memory adjustments. The 4th-gen Apple TV with 8GB RAM is necessary for optimal performance with certain titles. Another project is porting Nintendo 64 games to Apple TV using Nativecade. The longevity of these endeavors remains uncertain.
