Nodon are creatures with big personalities that are used to help build your games from the ground up. There are dozens of Nodon in Game Builder Garage, each with a unique function, and players can learn how to build games just by connecting them in various ways. For example, aspiring game designers can create and move a human-like character with an analogue stick just by connecting Stick Nodon with Person Nodon! Thus players will get to learn the basics of game programming in a fun and intuitive way. It’s also possible to create a wide variety of different types of video games too – from side-scrolling platformers, to kart racers, to space blasters!

Game Builder Garage launches today and is available at select retailers for a suggested retail price of AU$49.95 and in Nintendo eShop for AU$49.95 / NZ$54.95.

In Game Builder Garage for Nintendo Switch, kids and parents, and everyone in between, can have fun by learning to create and share their own video games.
