Review Game Builder Garage (Switch) - A Toolbox Of Terrifying Potential
Make your own damned games
Game Builder Garage is a game where you make games yourself rather than letting trained developers do it for you.

Random Japan's 'KidZania' Attractions Let Kids Live Out Their Nintendo Game Dev Dreams
Inspiring the next generation
If you've never stumbled across one before, KidZania is a strange concept. This is a child-sized indoor city full of ultrarealistic role-playing opportunities for kids to try out different careers, make money (only to be used in the attraction, we might add) and get a taste of adult life. The available career...
Anniversary Two Years On, Here Are Some Amazing Game Builder Garage Creations
Two years of tools
The rather brilliant Game Builder Garage is two years old today. Created from Nintendo EPD 4, the team behind the Nintendo Labo, Game Builder Garage was designed to help budding developers get creative and learn how to create their own games. Over the past two years, we've seen some sublime creations, many of which are inspired...
Random Japanese Workers Wish Nintendo Would Gamify Their Tax Returns
Who wouldn't, right?
At the best of times, tax returns are absolutely dreadful. Anyone who conducts their own business — whether it be as a full time gig or some freelance on the side — knows just how soul-destroying it can be to fill in the seemingly endless list of forms, with the only end result being the transfer of money over to Mr. Tax...
News You Have To See This Awesome Metroid Game Made Inside Game Builder Garage
And you can play it, too!
Nintendo's Game Builder Garage might not have taken off quite as much as the company would have hoped, but talented players are still busy creating some wonderful little games using the software's tech.

Reminder Game Builder Garage's European Physical Release Launches Today
Better late than never
When Nintendo first launched Game Builder Garage back in June, there was no mention of a physical release in Europe despite it receiving one across North America and Japan – which was odd. Fast forward to more than a month after launch, though, and a retail edition was finally announced after all. Now, that physical
Video People Are Still Making Incredible Games In Game Builder Garage
Fancy some Monkey Ball?
Nintendo's Game Builder Garage has been out for a few months now, and as we expected, people are now making some absolutely incredible games. If recreations of F-Zero, Super Mario Kart and The Legend of Zelda weren't already impressive enough, our senior video producer Alex Olney has now rounded up another batch of amazing...
Random Game Dev Uses Game Builder Garage To Expertly Recreate Mario Party Minigames
And you can play them yourself
André Cardoso's take on Sizzling Stakes – not bad, huh? We used to see all sorts of wonderful Game Builder Garage creations when the game first launched earlier this summer, and while that initial excitement seems to have settled down a little recently, here's a quick reminder of just how great the game creation...
Talking Point Nintendo's Quirky Creativity Hasn't Always Paid Off On Switch, But It Matters
Standing out from the crowd
Nintendo is in a particularly strong position in the games industry at present - it's a hugely popular, talked about brand, and the company is still selling tens of millions of systems each year that - by this stage - will be increasingly inexpensive to produce. When you take relatively old, readily available technology...
News Game Builder Garage Gets A September Retail Release In Europe
Delayed development
It's a bit of a trend for hit Indie games to start life as download exclusives, enjoy impressive sales and then bring out a physical edition months later - for collectors it's become the norm. It's a little surprising to see Nintendo do the same thing, in Europe on this occasion. Game Builder Garage was an eShop-only release in...
News Game Builder Garage Team Took Inspiration From 'Idol Groups' For Nodons
"I thought that an idol group was too extreme of an idea"
As we highlighted recently, Nintendo has launched the first of a new series of articles called 'Ask the Developer', which brings to mind the wonderful old Iwata Asks format. The first interview focuses on Game Builder Garage, with game director Naoki Masuda and subdire
