Nintendo Switch is going to expand it's market share by teaching users how to code in Python, Java and C++, with DLC (DAFUQ?) [ Tech Analytics ]
Nintendo Switch has been launched for some time. In addition to the great games announced at E3, there was a (rather silent) announcement by Nintendo-certified 3rd party that user can use Switch as a tool to write code and game hand-on. Programming educational institutions FUZE recently introduced a Switch-specific program, people can use the Switch Programming to work on their game for Switch.
Fuze Code Studio allows users to learn different encoding languages by using Switch, such as Python, Java and C ++. Users can write their own games on FUZE Code Studio and share them with other users. Software will have rich API support in both 2D and 3D games, and Code Studio itself also has a game music and sound package, license free for users to reduce design trouble. The games made with FUZE Code Studio can be controlled by Joycon and can be plugged into the docker to connect to TV. Talking about the connection, if the user does not want to use the screen keyboard to code, you can also plug in a physical keyboard to operate. (Which is kind of a must for coder to be honest)
FUZE founder and CEO Jon Silvera revealed that the purpose of developing Code Studio is to provide more ways to learn coding, but also allow children to play while learning. Jon also said he was excited about Nintendo's acceptance of FUZE as a third-party developer for Switch.
FUZE Code Studio will launch in the second quarter of 2018 and the official price will be released soon.
A very funny part is that the software will have additional content after launch in the form of DLC. Looks like we need to DLC everything on console even it's a coding software.

In the past there was the typing of the dead to help people to get use to typing with gamings, now its coding~ but coding indeed is very useful for nowaday world~
Oh my god. I so, do you mean that they will try to teach us how to write a game? Or just simply as a tools or I should say a small computer to let us use it to learn how to wirte code? I it is the first one, I feel it would be really interesting. What will they teach us? XD
dafuq lol never thought of this!
Now, if only Nintendo would have taking the obvious path they started with the Wii and provided connections to home automation, then the Switch could be setup to the home controller and home media browser.
Then you could custom program your own home interfaces. Of course, they would also have to use the built-in NFC pad to securely add automation modules to the system.
My experience tells me that Nintendo has a great team and talent to make game and basically suck at everything else. We will see how Nintendo Switch integrate with partial open source platform. I personally is not optimistic about this, while I am also certain that Nintendo will take the first step, but not Xbox or Sony.
Based on the quality of the browser in the Wii and Wii U, yup.
interesting. game is too complex structure. I keep trying to write some code for my game. but debugging is so annoying. I feel my hand shaking when I run the Unity3D. but making game can be fun with FUZE code...
awesome article, I really enjoyed that. resteemed and upvoted so it gets more eyeballs on it. oh and followed of course.
