FUZE Code Studios announced for the Nintendo Switch
With SmileBASIC, Nintendo 3DS and Wii U owners can use the BASIC programming language to create some games. FUZE Code Studios works in the same way: it allows users to learn a text-based programming language, in order to create your very own apps and 2D/3D games.
Quite interestingly, the software allows you to access Joy-Con sensors, just like developers with devkits would. And the timing of the latest Firmware update for the Nintendo Switch, which adds support for USB keyboards, couldn’t be any better: the game can be used with such a keyboard! This is great news, as programming without a keyboard generally makes for a pretty frustrating experience.
Here’s the main features of FUZE Code Studios on Nintendo Switch:
- Easy to learn text based programming language
- No coding experience required
- Create your own apps and fast 2D – 3D games
- Access Joycon sensors and controls directly in your programs

- Use a USB keyboard, the FUZE touch keyboard or the Joycons to enter your code
