According to reports, these Nintendo Switch emulators cannot fully emulate this game yet. However, it appears to be playable from what we can see below.

Make everyone's lives a little harder with a mod to add organised crime in Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord
https://www.pcgamer.com/make-everyones-lives-a-little-harder-with-a-mod-to-add-organised-crime-in-mount-and-blade-2-bannerlord/
I don't know about you but I hate messy crime. Disorganised muggings, no mob bosses, and ugh random break ins? Criminals can and should be doing so much better, they just need a few spreadsheets and they'd be set. So why not help them along a little bit by adding this mod to Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord that adds organised crime to the game.
The Scum and Villainy mod from Ko4evnik on Nexus Mods is designed to make the criminal lifestyle a little bit more realistic. Rather than sporadic crimes with no sense of reason, thieves and crooks will begin to play a bigger role in the gameplay dynamic. The description reads: "Several new parties will roam the map harassing villagers and caravans. Migrating clans will actually migrate to other cities and slavers will sell off their own children for profit. Smuggling and fencing stolen goods will be present on the overhead map."

Minecraft in Halo 3 is a destructible delight
https://www.pcgamer.com/minecraft-in-halo-3-is-a-destructible-delight/
Some mods were just meant to be, and Halo 3 as Minecraft feels like one of them. Created by longtime Halo and Souls modder InfernoPlus, the snappily named Halocraft is a multiplayer map pack that works with Halo: The Master Chief Collection and replaces four maps with destructible Minecraft maps.
That's probably the most impressive thing about this. Obviously the Halo side of things works perfectly, but the way it interacts with the Minecraft side is what blows your block off. Weapon fire, melee damage and grenades all damage the scenery to various extents, and the maps are built around this in different ways: one has a load of easily smashable glass panels over a fatal drop, and you can imagine how those matches play out.
