Game Builder Garage

Nintendo has new programming software coming out on Switch next month. Just a few days ago, Game Builder Garage was unveiled for Switch.

Game Builder Garage will be offered physically in North America and Japan. In Europe though, it’s another story. This went a bit under the radar, but Nintendo’s release schedule from this week confirms that Game Builder Garage is digital-only in Europe. It’s currently unclear why that is.

Game Builder Garage is due out for Switch in June 11. Those in Europe that are interested in owning the title physically will need to import from another region.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Nintendo already had a couple of releases planned for June, and added another one to the pile this week. Game Builder Garage was randomly announced on Wednesday and is just a month out from launching.

Continuing off of some of the things we’ve seen in Nintendo Labo, Game Builder Garage is software dedicated entirely to making games. You can learn about programming, develop your own creations, and share them with others. There’s even mouse support when the Switch is docked. We have much more information here.
