FUZE4 Review – How to make Nintendo Switch games
"If you've ever had any desire to create video games and you have a Nintendo Switch then I'd say FUZE is an absolute must have... given the ease of usability, the readily available help, the vast asset library and the developers wanting to continuously add and improve the package, I'm going to be giving FUZE4 on Nintendo Switch a brilliant 9 out of 10!"
123 Games Reviews : Score 9 out of 10
"A complete title that, due to its simplicity and all the help that accompanies you, will help create a new generation of coders. With an almost crazy number of items and options to work with it’s a must for those who have an interest in coding and especially, in my opinion, a must for the younger audience. A real gem!"
Chris Wallace
"This isn't a 'Mario Maker' style game building tool, this is proper coding"
"FUZE is an all-in-one development environment, reference guide, asset library, compiler and sharing platform. All the development tools and materials come as a part of the 'game', providing a self-contained environment for program and game development. Overall I'd say FUZE4 Nintendo Switch is a rare and unique gem on the Switch for programming enthusiasts and future developers."

FUZE4 Nintendo Switch – Igniting a passion for coding
“Ultimately, I feel that FUZE is easy to get to grips with but will take a lot more time to master. FUZE is evidently a labour of love and you will get out whatever you’re willing to put in. The software is jam packed full of features, the only thing stopping you is your own imagination.”

Perfect Switch Games For Staying At Home
"FUZE4 claims to give bare-bones beginners all the tools they need to develop their own video games. It was a perfect experiment for me, since all I had in my mental tool box at the start was enough HTML know-how to format a paragraph. This game employs its own language called “FUZE,” which is very similar to Python. My coding-savvy friends caught onto it in a snap, as a result. For my part, I got the hang of coding faster than I anticipated."

Coding – Fuze4 for Nintendo Switch
"FUZE4 is easy to understand for beginners, the tutorials in the user guide are very good as they are laid out in an easy to understand way. They are very informative while at the same time not overwhelming you with too much information at once. You can read the tutorials on an iPad while you code on the Switch which is connected to the TV screen for good visibility."
Code with Mike : Score 9 out of 10 - "Yes it really is that good!"
FUZE4 Review – Programming On A Switch
"Summary and Verdict: It’s clear, that the target audience is kids but I’ve had such a blast creating games with it, It definitely appeals to the older gamer too. My only hope is that they continue creating and releasing updates and assets that allow it to stay fresh and fully supported. FUZE4 Nintendo Switch is good choice if you want to learn programming on the go or from the comfort of wherever you happen to sit down. Dedicate the time and effort and you’ll be able to create something special."
The Bonus Stage : Score 9 out of 10
"Its possibilities are simply endless. Its series of commands and functions can be daunting at first, but work through the tutorials and examples and you can soon pick up the basic fundamentals of its programming...this will be an application that remains on your Switch for a very long time to come."
Northern Gamer : Score 4.5 out of 5
"In conclusion, Fuze4 Nintendo Switch is definitely a good choice for anyone looking to code and program their own games from the comfort of their living room, or thanks to the Switch’s portability, on the go."

"FUZE4 Nintendo Switch is an amazing coding app"
"FUZE4 on the Nintendo Switch is hugely impressive and frankly, I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it. Don't sleep on FUZE4, my kids have been enjoying it. I do recommend you use an external USB keyboard to have the best coding experience. You can buy FUZE4 as a digital download on the Nintendo Shop."

"A good introduction to the world of coding - Navigation is a doddle"
