Cpasjutse has updated his multimedia player for Nintendo Switch:
Hi, i can't wait anymore, i need to share my progress, or at least, a little video of it. The player should be out soon (a week), just for Christmas.
So, here it is! Happy Christmas 
Please, be sure to read the (minimal) README !
You should really use an NSP HBL (HomeBrew Loader) to unleash all switch memory to launch pPlay, else you'll have some memory problem/crash: https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-me ... sp.518433/
Alternatively if you are using Atmosphere, you can press (R) when launching a game, this will load the HBL (HomeBrew Loader) with all memory unlocked.
v1.4
implement threading (major speed improvement)!
fix date format in status bar
fix status bar not hidden on timeout hide
set lower buffering option by default (thanks threading)
v1.3
improve audio decoding (fix some audio desynchronization, most 720p media seems to works fine even with medium buffering, this also fix some audio seeking problem in some media)
add status bar (time and battery)
add crappy "pPlay" title image
fix some random crashes when scanning media folder

Nintendo has revealed the rankings of the most popular titles on its console for the past twelve months, with Epic Games' Fortnite ahead of the pack.
Released via the Switch's news channel, this list takes into account all the time spent by Switch owners with a European account, listing the games in order of most played.
Unfortunately, Nintendo does not disclose how much time each title accumulated among Switch owners, but Fortnite stands proudly at the top -- as perhaps might be expected of the worldwide phenomenon.
The game was given a surprise launch on Switch during E3 2018, which gives it hefty headstart over later releases such as Pokémon Let's Go and Smash Bros. But its enduring popularity proves the game to be one that appeals to Nintendo's audience.
The rest of the Top 21 (it's not clear why Nintendo opted for 21 titles rather than a nice round 20) is largely familiar territory. As always, first-party titles dominate, accounting for 11 titles (12 if you count Ubisoft's Mario-fronted Rabbids title).
However it's interesting to see that of the Top 10, only four games are 2018 releases.

Until recently, the Nintendo Switch didn’t have a proper video player although work was being done on various fronts to let you play on the Switch. First, there was PlayerNX in September which let you watch videos, with varying success, but it didn’t have audio so you were stuck with silent films. Then, Joel16 released a development build of NX-Shell with a rudimentary video player that worked much better and had audio but was quite lacking in the control department.
Shortly after the NX-Shell build with the built-in video player was released, Cpasjuste shared his work on the video player he had been working on that’s called pPlay. Now, it is by far the best solution to play videos on your Switch as it has good video support (works with most 720p files and some 1080p ones), subtitle support, HTTP streaming support and also a nice UI. Thankfully, Cpasjuste is still working on making it better and has updated to version 1.3 which brings along:
- Improved audio decoding code which should fix some audio desynchronisation issues
- A status bar with the time and battery level got added
- A pPlay title image was added
- Scanning the media folder is now more reliable as some bugs that occurred while pPlay searched for videos have been squashed
To grab pPlay 1.3, check out this link and install the NRO file on your Switch. Make sure you use an NSP HBL to give the homebrew ample memory for best results!

A few days ago, m4xw, who is a Switch developer, told us about recent progress on the dynamic recompiler being ported for N64 emulation on the Switch. A short while later, he shared an NRO file of the BETA Mupen64Plus RetroArch core the dynarec is implemented in so that you could try out the dynarec on your own device.
Obviously, the dynarec translates into great performance improvements due to more efficient CPU emulation. Furthermore, it could let you run games at a higher resolution while still maintaining good speeds so even if the games you want to play run well, the dynarec still has something to offer. Among the games that Reddit users have reported to be working pretty well we find:
- Diddy Kong Racing
- Mario 64
- Super Smash Bros
- Yoshi’s Story
- Some ROM hacks like Banjo Dreamie
- It’s important to note that some titles don’t work with the dynamic recompiler as it’s still in development so crashes/issues are to be expected!
The dynarec will soon be part of Mupen64Plus nightlies created by the libretro buildbot so you should also stay tuned for those!

If you’re a Tomb Raider fan, then you’ll love this one as OpenLara is an open-source multi-platform game engine for the 1996 Tomb Raider game that started the whole Lara Croft franchise.
The person behind this game engine is XPronger and it’s still in development but it seems to work pretty well since it runs buttery smooth, has audio support and also supports running at higher resolutions among other features.
The Switch port, which was done by OpenLara’s developer, landed yesterday (January 9) and from some videos showing it in action, it seems to run pretty well in both docked/undocked mode and it even supports touch controls for playing without the joycons!
In order to play some upscaled buttery-smooth Tomb Raider on your Switch, grab the NRO/NACP files from this link and copy your game files to /switch/OpenLara on your SD card. If you don’t have a Switch but still want to try OpenLara, you can check it out through a WebGL build found here.

If you are into Sonic style games then na_th_an‘s latest NES homebrew project Espitene is clearly for you. The game has 12 regular stages and 6 boss stages. Collect emeralds and rings, avoid enemies and take care of the big bad ones.
Right now this game is in beta stage, so count with a few irregularities here and there but overall it’s a solid upcoming Mojon Twins production, created with their very own AGNES engine.

Yu Suzuki!
This is the name of one of the legends who made the video game industry what it is today. Designer, programmer, producer, and engineer, he headed the AM2 department releasing some of the greatest titles ever published by SEGA.
Games like Space Harrier, Hang-On, After Burner, Virtua Fighter, and Shenmue lead him to be globally considered one of the most important figures in the whole scene. But other than these, there’s a specific game who is considered his masterpiece, and that 33 years after its original release is still very popular among gamers of all ages. Obviously, we’re talking about OutRun!
Pioneering non-linear gameplay, selectable soundtrack, and a state-of-the-art graphics style, OutRun is one of the best selling games ever. Appeared in Japanese arcades in 1986, this innovative high action road racing adventure sees the player race across the world at the incredible speed of 270 Km/H; released in three versions: deluxe, standard and upright cabinets OutRun was present in every arcade worthy of that name. And due to its incredible success, it has been ported for all the systems of that era including MSX, Commodore 64, Amiga, PC-Engine, Sega Mega Drive and many others. Followed by a large number of sequels, it is also present in modern titles like Yakuza 0, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, and Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise!
But if you’re a Nintendo Switch owner, and you need for speed, today is your lucky day! Yes, because OutRun is finally out on Nintendo eShop!
Turn the ignition, and step on the gas of your shiny red Ferrari Testarossa Spider; several thousands of kilometers just waiting for the burning rubbers, they’ll lead you to one of the five endings that will crown you as the fastest racer of the world.
In OutRun for Switch, you can feel all the speed, the thrills, and the wind in your hair directly from the 80s; accompanied by the wonderful soundtrack composed by Hiroshi Kawaguchi this gem tests your nerves, reflexes, and your driving skills to unbelievable limits!
Roar over the asphalt, drive through the devil’s canyon, slip ‘n’ slide on the wheat field, and across the line, but be careful…even if absolutely exciting, OutRun for Switch is not an easy ride, ’cause hordes of screaming-fast cars will try to throw you off the road.
Now stop talking; do you have what it takes to come out on top? Discover it with this digital-only retro gem…all is up to you.
You’re cool & the engine is hot! Get geared for the ride of your life!
For Console>

rsn8887 has released a new version of the Amiga Emulator for Nintendo Switch:
Installation
Switch:
Download and unzip uae4all2_switch.zip
Copy the resulting folder uae4all2 to /switch/ onto your SDCard, ensure none of the "archive" flags is set.

Obtain and copy BIOS files kick13.rom (Amiga 500), and kick31.rom (Amiga 1200) to your SDCard into /switch/uae4all2/kickstarts/.
Optional: copy over additional BIOS files kick12.rom, kick20.rom, kickcustom.rom (for e.g. version 3.1.4 or any other user-supplied BIOS) to the same folder.
Use your favorite Homebrew Launcher or Homebrew Loader to start Uaeall2
MD5 of verified working kickstart rom files, you can test yours at onlinemd5:
kick12.rom (256 kB): (MD5) 85AD74194E87C08904327DE1A9443B7A

Nintendo was the UK's biggest publisher of physical games in December.
The UKIE/GfK report revealed that over 30 per cent of all games sold in December were on Nintendo platforms (29.5 per cent on Nintendo Switch alone). It made the console the No.2 most popular platform behind PS4, which accounted for 39.7 per cent of all games sold last month.
Nintendo's success was driven by Super Smash Bros Ultimate, which was the biggest new release of the month and shifted 284,155 games in physical form alone.
However, it wasn't the best-selling game of December. The top selling titles were Red Dead Redemption 2 at No.1, followed by FIFA 19 and then Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Smash Bros had to settle for No.4.
It was one of two Nintendo games in the Top Ten, with Mario Kart 8: Deluxe at No.7. Pokémon Let's Go: Pikachu also sold well reaching No.12, and if sales had been combined with its Eevee sister edition, the game would have reached No.8.
Overall, Nintendo-published games accounted for 19.3 per cent of all games sold, ahead of EA, which accounted for 13.6 per cent (driven primarily by FIFA 19 and Battlefield V).
