<p>Launching next week on Nintendo Switch is <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/smilebasic_4"><strong>SmileBASIC 4</strong></a>, a programming application that lets you play and design your very own games on the console.</p>
<p>Using its very own ‘SmileBASIC’ programming language, the tool is said to be easy to understand even for beginners. It includes various materials and tools to help you jump into development and, once you’re done, you can upload your finished games to the server for others to check out.</p>
