    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Here’s one less reason for game developers to skip over using the free and open source Godot Engine, as it now has a free port available to bring games over to the Nintendo Switch.

    You may remember recently that W4 Games, a company set-up by some of the Godot team, announced their own console port availability that has a cost attached to it which at a basic minimum would be $800 a year for a single console.

    Many felt the price was too much but, since it’s all open source, anyone else could come up with a porting solution and now they have — for the Nintendo Switch at least.

    · Complimentary access: Available at no cost to all authorised Nintendo Switch developers.

    · Expandability: Having access to the source code, developers with C++ knowledge have the opportunity to add and integrate additional functionalities as needed.

    We recommend partnering with porting companies for medium or large-sized projects.
