FUZE4 Nintendo Switch, new ambitions and ingenious upcoming project from FUZE Technologies, brings the video game encoder to your bedroom. The idea is to let every Switch console owner the ability to create and share their own apps and games for Nintendo. It sounds revolutionary, but it's actually a product of decades of experience. Mr. Nolan Bushnell, founder of the legendary Atari and current CEO of Stealth Mode, is proof number one, and in his own words:
“FUZE4 Nintendo Switch is a great way to introduce kids to the world of programming - it's going to be really cool to see what comes out of it” - Nolan Bushnell, Founder of Atari
FUZE Technologies Ltd is proud to announce it with the release date of FUZE4 Nintendo Switch set for August 30 in less than two weeks. It is a user-friendly coding platform designed for Switch, designed and developed by experienced gamers, seasoned programmers and artists deeply rooted in the gaming world for decades. According to the ambitions, the goal was to create an environment suitable for both novice and veteran programmers and for building top-class games and applications. The general manager of the project, Mr. Jon Silvera, said:
“After a number of delays and a rigorous testing process, we are delighted to have received final approval from Nintendo. Now you can create your own games on Nintendo Switch from the comfort of your bedroom! - Jon Silvera
