Cocos Technology CEO Zhe Wang said of today’s announcement:
“People have known us for having the best open-source engine for game development for mobile devices and the web. But as our development ecosystem has been evolving, so have our company’s goals, and the Nintendo Switch is part of our future. Not only for its ability to have gaming on the go but its appeal to gamers here in China and globally.”
Cocos technical director Huabin Ling also said the following about the support for the game engine on Switch:
“This is just the beginning of the many things happening with Cocos Creator. We have already expanded with support for HarmonyOS, TikTok, and WeChat mini games. Nintendo adds even more places developers can create and share their products across the world. We’re excited to share where Cocos Creator games go next.”
“Cocos Creator For Nintendo Switch” can be accessed for free in early July by all Switch developers in the middleware section of the Nintendo Developers Portal. Those who are already approved to develop for the system can access the software from Cocos.
