Turn gaming time into learning time with the Game Builder Garage software. Kids can learn how to make their own games with guided lessons created by Nintendo. From a simple game of tag to a run-and-jump obstacle course, each lesson is broken down into multiple, manageable segments that let kids go at their own pace—and have fun in the process. Learn the basics of visual game programming By playing through interactive lessons, kids will learn the basics of visual game programming. Nodon, colorful creatures with distinct personalities, keep kids engaged through lessons with tips and motivating messages. With a simple press of a button, swap between the programming screen and the game screen—watch how programming changes the game on the fly. Track progress and build confidence After completing each lesson and building a game, kids will test their knowledge by completing Checkpoints—small puzzles or tasks to solve with programming. Master these skills and head to Free Programming mode to let your imagination (and programming chops) run wild. The Nodon you meet each have distinct personalities that complement their functions. Have fun connecting them together to see how they interact and bring your game to life. The in-game Nodopedia lets you quickly check what each Nodon does as you create. There’s also a guide that recaps important skills! Easily swap between the Programming and Game screens to see the hard-working Nodon in action. Take advantage of the Nintendo Switch system’s many features. Instead of the control stick, program motion controls to control your game. Want to create…

I liked the part where I built games.

a neat game if you can get it for free. its fun for awhile but theres not much to do and its pretty basic.

Actually a really cool editor. The GBG community was pretty active for several months. But man, the lack of online level hubs yeeted this game into the andromeda galaxy.

for 30 dollars, your basically getting ripped off. i wasn't expecting this to be a brand-new state of the art game development program, and more so something directed towards young children interested in making games, but there's much better free options out there like scratch. it can be cool seeing what people make with this, but in the end it's just a basic game development software not worth your hard earned 30 dollars. if you ever see the physical version selling for 10 dollars i would recommend it though but only as a game to add to your collection.

This game could be fun for kids interested in making games but there isn’t a lot here otherwise. The lessons can be boring at times and you can’t play other people’s games online without level codes??? For the price it’s pretty good but not something I see myself coming back to.
