FUZE Technologies Ltd is proud to announce the official launch date for FUZE4 Nintendo Switch is the 30th of August. Jon Silvera, managing director commented, “After a number of delays and a rigorous testing process we’re thrilled to have received the final Nintendo stamp of approval. Now you can make your own games on Nintendo Switch in the comfort of your own bedroom!”

FUZE4 Nintendo Switch is a coding platform for Nintendo Switch. It has been designed and developed by a team of experienced gamers, programmers, artists and educators. Their sole intention has been to produce an environment ideally suited to coding games and apps for absolute beginners and seasoned programmers alike.

FUZE4 Nintendo Switch is a comprehensive ‘code studio’ including code editor, media browser, map editor, image editor, and the ability to share and collaborate on projects with your Nintendo Friends.

There are no limits to the kind of games and applications you can create. From text-based adventures to 2D shoot’em-ups, dungeon crawlers to solitaire, Minecraft style to golfing or 3D space exploration to 2D puzzle games, everything is possible.

Why learn to code?
The ability to code is widely considered to be one of the most important life skills across the curriculum. Perhaps more significant however is that the simple act of learning to code will help to improve your digital skills and offer an insight into how electronic devices actually work rather than just knowing how to use them.

“FUZE4 Nintendo Switch is a ground-breaking achievement. Making games is a fun way to learn important digital skills that employers desperately seek. This is how coding should be introduced and we hope this will have a significant impact.”
