After all fans have been requesting it for years. The official developers are happy to finally offer a stable mobile version of Citra 3DS.

The second unofficial project made by MMJ was better in terms of performances, however, the average user will surely stick with the newer official versions. The first attempt of emulating 3DS games on Android was really poor and barely worked as it was really slow to run games. The story goes in-depth as to how the two previous unofficial ports affected the development of this official version. If you want to dig in Citra’s story you can head to the official website via the source link. The team behind the new app documented and published the story of the entire development on their website. However, there’s a lot more to explore and more features should keep coming in the coming days. Among them, we have amiibo support, motion controls, microphone and camera support, and gamepad support. All these features work to provide a rather full-fledged Nintendo 3DS emulation experience. Those features weren’t available in the initial ports. Interestingly enough, several features are coming with the new app. The new app is making way to Google Play Store and it’s free!

Now, however, with the help of those unofficial ports, the 3DS fans can rejoice since an official release is coming straight from the source. However, they were far from being stable, but we have to say that they have progressed well in the past months. Over the past months, there was an unofficial Android port of the Citra Emulator on PC. The Official Citra release is here for Android
