==Overview==
'''Mikage''' is a [[Nintendo 3DS emulators|Nintendo 3DS emulator]] for Android devices developed by Tony Wasserka, also known as ''neobrain'', a prominent emudev who has contributed to [[Dolphin]], [[PPSSPP]], and [[Citra]]. Mikage was created from scratch as neobrain saw an opportunity for a better-than-average-quality 3DS emulator on Android. While the three aforementioned projects he contributed are open-source, Mikage is currently closed-source, though neobrain is interested in opening much of the [[source code]] at some point. Mikage was publicly announced on the official website and Twitter account on [https://mikage.app/hello-mikage/ July 1, 2019], though neobrain had been working on the project for three years prior, starting in 2016.
