Game Builder Garage Reviews
Overall, this is not your typical “game”, but it is still a lot of fun one to play. Game Builder Garage is also a game that is uniquely important and necessary for people to understand how games work. While all of this may sound like a chore, it really isn’t, as Nintendo is probably the only company that could make visual scripting actually fun. That alone is a huge achievement and one I am excited as well as relieved to champion.
An interesting game making tool, easy to learn and powerful enough to create and share our own minigames. Still we miss some utilities such as importing assets or composing music.

A fairly satisfying experience that immerses us fully in the world of programming without requiring hundreds of lines of code. It adapts perfectly to object-oriented programming, although with much simpler concepts achieved thanks to the 'nodon'. Without a doubt, a great stimulant for your imagination.

Children are like sponges, eager to learn and soak up new knowledge to apply to the decades ahead of them.

Nintendo's new game creation software may not let you make the game of your dreams, but it's a fun-to-use toolkit nonetheless.
An impressively visual approach to building your own games, with a fully formed tutorial that demystifies complicated ideas with typical Nintendo charm and aplomb.
Game Builder Garage is a robust, yet easy to learn, game engine that's absolutely delightful.
Some standard Nintendo limitations get in the way, but this is still an invaluable education in some of the fundamentals of game creation.
