  "account": "Nintendo's Switch 2 market is facing increased competition as more Switch games are adapting to other devices. Mario Kart World, a popular game, has been adapted for iPhone with enhanced performance and touch controls. The game shows improved shader rendering and a smoother frame rate on the iPhone, with occasional stutters but overall more playability than before. Splatoon Raiders has also made strides on a private build of the Switch emulator Eden, showing smooth gameplay until the character select screen where it begins to lag. Both Faust, who adapted Mario Kart World, and Sheepish, who worked on Splatoon Raiders, acknowledged using AI assistance in their projects. While these ports are still in the experimental phase, they may inspire other developers to create similar tools, possibly making the Switch 2-focused build of Eden publicly available in the future. However, these ports have not been officially verified due to the lack of public releases.",
