@chartube12 Minimum price is $0.99 / £0.89 / €0.99 . We actually wanted it to be free but that was not possible so we went with the lowest price we could.

Did Nintendo already approve it for the eshop? the 1.99 minimum policy is new. Nintendo trying to combat issues with shitty games being in featured section. devs would put them on sell for .99 and under. than they would go back to normal price with a day

Whether its $1 or $2, maybe take the word of the people selling this on the eShop tomorrow rather than try and armchair advise with anecdotal information.

I’ll gladly buy this tomorrow to show some support.

Fuze player M rated confirmed

 

[stanleyopar2000]

ok. There are FAR TOO MANY games called "Fuse". This needs to stop. haha.

....we don't talk about what happened with Overstrike. Overstrike was canceled and did not become a game called Fuse.

 

[masagrator]

Nice!.. Hope new games can be imported locally through the microSD card, with no internet connection needed.

Switch games can't access sdcard directly in retail. They cannot access anything which SDK doesn't allow. And SDK doesn't allow anything what user has access to.

I've had a look at the Social Media for this Application and it's a little old and disconnected, the latest Instagram post being from 2019 and the YouTube Channel has no hyperlinks to its Official Website; it wouldn't hurt to refresh Feeds and give people somewhere to go and look at game examples.

That said, this looks very interesting, especially since it has a built-in Sprite and Image Editor.

It would be great to promote that as well, so those who aren't ready to Code because they don't know what they want to do can start off with creating Game Assets, or even share them with others through some kind of community display and transfer system; I know I like to create Pixel Art in my spare time and wouldn't mind creating free Sets for people to use.

I will be buying this just for Fast Food Dizzy as I played the original version to death back in the day on my ZX Spectrum 48K.

This was originally planned as a free app ala RPGmaker Player for 3ds. I wonder if Nintendo mandated it be a paid app in case it's exploited (to mitigate the potential scope of the problem).
I also take it this is a curated list of games and users can't download arbitrary game codes?

This is pretty wise from a security perspective, especially if the previous sentence is true.

 

[CasalTie5]

start off with creating Game Assets, or even share them with others through some kind of community display and transfer system; I know I like to create Pixel Art in my spare time and wouldn't mind creating free Sets for people to use.

It is actually possible to do that; because whenever someone downloads a game they have full access to the images created and used in that program.

As far as online presence is concerned, the focus is fuzearena, the Fuze forum (I think there is a link to that in most cases, but i could be wrong)

I think you should go back and read that article. I only read it once but I feel you missed the point of it - and got some details wrong.

Hey folks, first a quick but HUGE thanks to GBAtemp for posting our latest release.

You read it right, that's 27 games for 99 cents (that's less than $0.04c per game!). However, more games are being added as they get through our QA. We have at least ten more to add in the coming weeks.

These games are true Homebrew titles. They have been written by FUZE4 Nintendo Switch users that include absolute beginners, young kids, older adults, teachers, gamers and seasoned pro coders.

This is 100% legal homebrew on Nintendo Switch and is the nearest you'll get to the original Home Computer (back-in-the-day) coding experience. Best of all you can learn to code while trying out all the great community games. Every game includes the full, and commented, source code so you can see how it was made. The reference guide, examples and tutorials are also included so you can check out the language.

Anyway... as of tomorrow the FUZE Player is available on the eShop for £0.89 / $€0.99 - Enjoy!

Ps. A warm 'best wishes' for Christmas / Holidays - our hearts go out for all those who have had to endure a very lonely time and those adversely affected by this damned virus.

How can we go about submitting Fuze games for inclusion in the Switch version?

I might be biased, but I think this is the cheapest way you can get Solitaire on your Nintendo Switch. And when you don't feel like Solitaire, there are plenty of other games to pick from as well!

 

[vinicity]

This is great news! I love Fuze and the amazing community around it. I really hope the player get more people interested in the actual Fuze application.

It is also great that more people can play the games we make in it!

 

[MarkDarkness]

Great to see the community making it like this!

 

[HarveyHouston]

Wow, a GBAtemp member made this? And Nintendo is supporting it? Did the Nintendo executives drink a bit too much buttered rum this Christmas season?!?

No i didn’t. Nintendo has blocked games from being sold for less than a $1.99, That’s the end point. I was curious if Nintendo approved their pricing of .99. if so it had to be done before the new pricing eshop rules went into effect.

Hmm... Does anybody know how to play games bundled with FUZE player?

Or they aren't bundled at all, and have only links from the player program?

On a start screen, I clicked Programs, then any game, A, then + (Run), but no luck: it gives me an error like: Error Code 2155-8007, or Turn off the flight mode:

My guess is you are using a DNS blocker or some sort of stealth software
