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.
Score 9/10 – Yes it really is that good! Code with Mike

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 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!

Overall, FUZE4 offers a comprehensive programming tool that is only held back by your own creativity. You can literally create anything from text-based adventures to 2D dungeoning and shmups to fully blown 3D racers and shooters. 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. Keep working at it and experimenting with various forms of codes though, and you’ll grasp the concepts of its programming and produce the first fabrics of your very own creations and games on a path to mastering its techniques and the possibilities of what can be achieved from its source.. ..this will be an application that remains on your Switch for a very long time to come..

FUZE4 Nintendo Switch is a coding application for Nintendo Switch. It has been designed and developed by a team of experienced gamers, programmers, artists and educators. Programming languages all have their pros and cons. FUZE4 takes as many pros as we could cram in from a mix of these languages (C, Python & BASIC to name a few) to create a language that is as easy as BASIC, powerful like C and versatile like Python. The end result is a language ideally suited to coding games and apps for absolute beginners and seasoned programmers alike. Here's the full rundown:
|
Interface
|
|
- Advanced binary commands (BitCount, BitFieldExtract, BitFieldInsert, BitGet, BitSet)
- Automatic performance adjustment - automatically switch between performance modes to conserve battery or improve framerates based on rendering load
- Detailed performance monitoring - independent measurements of CPU and GPU processing time give more insight into the program’s performance than a standard framerate measurement
Game Assets
- Over $1,000 worth of high-quality gaming assets
- Includes more than 10,000 gaming assets across 2D, 3D and Audio
- Contributions from 30 graphic artists and musicians to ensure a wide variety of genres and styles

- 2D Sprite sheets often include hundreds of related assets making the actual number of individual game assets near impossible to quantify but it would be safe to say it’s well over the 50,000 mark!
- 3D Assets include many modular sets so it is possible to create an underground series of dungeons, caverns and even sewers as well as fully equipped castles, medieval towns, space stations, farms, cities and towns. It is even possible to build fully furnished houses! There are also hundreds upon hundreds of unique assets for forming landscapes with cliffs, beaches, terrain, plants, and people, animals and monsters to populate them.
- Audio includes almost a hundred music tracks along with over a thousand sound effects from cute interface sounds to bellowing orcs and a great deal in between!
