It’s on Switch now
SoGame Builder Garagekind of came out of nowhere. Nintendo announced it very recently, and then all of a sudden, boom,it’s on the eShop on June 11 for 30 bucks. As a reminder, this is a tool for people who “dream of building their own game,” and allows for a streamlined way for folks to experience game and visual design: much like many STEM-focused games of its ilk in the past few years.
As expected, incredibly talented folks are now going crazy with the in-game tools, and are re-creating classic Nintendo games.As spotted on Nintendo Life, Twitter user MrTalida actually managed to craft the 1996Ocarina of Timeprototype, and ZeldaBoi made the original SNESMario Kart.

It’s only been a few days, folks! It can only go up from here. Just likeDreamsorLittleBigPlanet, I’m stoked to see what people come up with in this thing. And I sincerely hope that Nintendo doesn’t just shut the servers down after a year or two to preserve these works of art.
