Fuze seems to work great on the Switch 2! I haven't tested exhaustively yet, but I did fire up two of the games I wrote (Skatey-Cat, and Dredge) and both of them ran flawlessly.

@z-mann Great analysis, and me too-- I share in your optimism! I'm suspecting I'll fire it up, try some Fuze games, and they'll "just work"; the Switch 2 is so similar architecturally! But I'll post back here either way and let people know what I've found :)

@z-mann Absolutely, totally agree!

My question is, is Fuze esoteric enough that they haven't even gotten to testing it yet? Also, there are a zillion permutations of features you can use in Fuze-- it's not as simple as just firing it up to see if it starts, you know?

I have a hard time seeing a Nintendo QA employee learning the language to write a test bed application leveraging all of the functions, the map editor, etc. But who knows!

I guess we'll find out soon enough, Switch 2 is right around the corner (I'm super excited!).

Every time Nintendo updates their compatibility list, I check to see if there are any mentions of Fuze, good or bad-- nothing yet: https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/transfer-guide/compatible-games

I wonder if Fuze has been through this testing program yet? I have a Switch 2 coming on launch day, Fuze will be the first thing I start just to see what happens!

Hello again,

As promised, I will post a new challenge at the start of each week, and then compile the results the following Sunday. Entries can be posted either on Fuze Arena or on the Fuze discord server.

To download the game, go to Programs->My Projects, and the press Y to enter the download ID.

Contact me if you want to suggest a game for a challenge. Preferably games I have not featured before, but we can always redo an old game for fun every now and then.
