FUZE4 approved by Nintendo, apparently releasing August 30

Each time we’ve shared news about the release window and release date for FUZE4, unfortunately, the coding app has been delayed over and over. Fortunately, Nintendo finally approved it for release and FUZE Technologies claims to have a final release date.

If everything goes as planned, FUZE4 will be available on August 30. Players will be able to create their own games for $39.99 / £29.99 / €34.99.

Here’s a bunch of information about FUZE4:

UZE4 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.
