If you remember the first attempt at emulating 3DS games on Android, it barely worked as it was slow and had a lot of issues. The team behind the Citra 3DS emulator documented and published the story of the entire development process on their website, which goes in-depth as to how the two previous unofficial ports affected the development of this official version. That includes amiibo support, motion controls, microphone and camera support, and gamepad support, just to name a few. There are a lot of features present in the official port released today that weren't available in the initial port, and all of these features work to provide a rather full-fledged Nintendo 3DS emulation experience. What's more, this Nintendo 3DS emulator is available on the Google Play Store for free! With the help of both developers of those unofficial ports, there's now an official build of Citra for Android. We've already covered Nintendo 3DS emulation on Android numerous times, though earlier attempts were made possible by unofficial Android ports of the incredibly popular Citra emulator on PC.
