Intro

Millions of years ago our world was invaded by a species of bodiless creatures called the Geeks. Millenia upon millennia passed. They waited. They waited some more. They grew bored. Eventually Humans evolved. The Geeks watched. At first, they were entertained by the Human’s incessant ability to invent utterly useless things they would place a great and much misguided importance upon. They watched some more. They grew bored again.

Eventually the Geeks became able to influence the thoughts and actions of the Humans. Among many other fantastic contributions to Human nature, one single phrase, a single phrase above all others, was to entrench itself deep into Human consciousness. It was: "The Geek shall inherit the Earth".

However, over the next couple of thousand years this somehow mutated into “The meek shall inherit the Earth”.

The Geeks were not pleased by this misrepresentation and went to work on correcting the problem. Over the next few hundred years and up until the mid-20th century the Geeks perfected a method of taking over the hearts and minds of thousands of Humans. Instead of inventing new types of chair, handbag or another fancy cheese, they put their minds to developing powerful computational technologies that would pave the way for a new dawn of invention and entertainment.

The first wave of these new systems were far too complex for ordinary, unoccupied Humans to comprehend but more were soon to follow. Then, in the 1970s the Home Computer arrived and, finally, computing for the masses that even the lowliest of Human intelligence could grasp.

Alan Turing, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Grace Murray Hopper, Nolan Bushnel, Jack Tramiel, Sir Clive Sinclair, Seymour Crey, Ada Lovelace, Charles Babbage, Gottfried Leibniz, Hermann Hauser and Chris Curry are but just a few of the most famous and recognised Geeks. There are many, many more and by far too many to mention but one thing is certain. It was not long ago that they got their way and fulfilled their dream. Take a look around you… The Geeks certainly did inherit the earth!

FUZE Technologies Ltd knows a good thing when it sees it and it wants a piece of the action. FUZE⁴ Nintendo Switch is our offering to budding Geeks everywhere. We hope you like it.

Thank You

FUZE⁴ Nintendo Switch has been developed in the UK by a very small team. It is also a project that has run alongside the usual FUZE activities including delivering hundreds of FUZE Coding workshops to young people across the UK. When we originally announced we were embarking on the project a web page accepting donations was introduced on the FUZE website.

We can't shout this loud enough, but a HUGE thank you from our team to all our donators. It meant the world to us to receive your support and we would not have made it without you!

Additional thanks for their ongoing support, encouragement and general awesomeness goes to:

In case of paid products and services, FUZE is only liable to slight negligible damages incurred by it or its assistant(s) if a duty is violated, even if it is extra-contractual, the adherence to which is of special importance in order to be in compliance with contractual use (Cardinal duty), as well in cases of damage to life, body and health. c. For non-observance of a cardinal obligation, the liability is limited to the damage which must be typically expected within the scope of this agreement if there is no intention or gross negligence or if FUZE must incur liability because of fatal injury, physical injury or health hazards. d. FUZE shall not be liable for damage which can be controlled by the other contracting party or which the other contracting party could have prevented by taking measures which can be reasonably expected.
