Nintendo Switch

Question

I would like to port my game to the Nintendo Switch platform. I've read that Nintendo Switch is supported by Unity, however I could not find any developer documentation for that. Any support is appreciated.

Access to the Switch dev tools for Unity - as well as plugins and documentation - are managed by Nintendo themselves. You need to sign up as a developer on the Nintendo dev website and then be cleared for Switch development before you can get access .

A word of warning that it might take some time. I suspect they've got a bit of a backlog right now.

I've just registered to Nintendo dev account and the game systems available are 'Nintendo Wii U' and 'Nintendo 3DS'

Maybe they are still working on the apis or it's Unity's issue or it's not opened to general public yet ! Bye

Well no.

To get the Nintendo Switch dev kit, you need to contact Nintendo themselves, according to some articles I've read on Stack Exchange

And also, I sent them a couple emails regarding the switch. To get your game on the switch you have to pitch your idea to them, and if they like it, they'll give you the dev kit, I think.

You should also send them footage and screeshots to give your game a larger change of being accepted. They're also currently accepting indie devs a lot, so make sure you can make a good game before even considering the Nintendo Switch.
