nintendo switch support problem

Hello everyone

I have a big problem with unity 3D for swich
I want to know how to register to Nintendo under an editor for access to devlpoement for the switch?

and thanks for help

https://developer.nintendo.com/

Thank you

it’s not my case

I already have a standard account Nintendo wii u and 3DS

but I do not have the nintendo switch section

I believe you have to contact the nintendo portal admins and ask them for access.

Thank you

I already have contact with the Nintendo administrator but I have no reputation

I heard that I had to link my account to a game publisher like this link

but I do not know how to do it with my Nintendo account

If you choose a publisher that supports nintendo switch then they might be able to tell you how, or you could just ask the admin how you go through that process. You might be able to get a response on either the 3ds or wii u forums too.

You have to manually request for Nintendo to add Switch to your Nintendo developer account. If you have no reputation, then Nintendo will most likely say no to letting you develop for the Switch. What console companies primarily want to see are games that have already proven successful on other platforms, such as Steam.

If you have a cool game prototype already made, you can try to get Nintendo to look at it to consider it for Switch. But don’t get discouraged if Nintendo is not interested. If Nintendo says no, just release it on Steam first, prove it is viable, and then contact Nintendo again about releasing it on Switch.

thank you

I want to know how to enter via an editor?

Which part of “you need to get approved by Nintendo” is it you don’t understand?

If you have been in touch with them, and they won’t give you access, you need to get better at convincing people that you’re a competent developer.

Are you asking how to use the editor with your Switch? Because the editor you download from Unity won’t be able to work with the console. You need a specially modified editor from Nintendo. By the way this also applies to the hardware. You need a specially modified Switch from Nintendo. Wikipedia says the price is at most $450.

thank you

it is not the editor unity3D is “publisher of games” so it is the company in partnership with Nintendo

I mean that I associate my Nintendo account with a company that takes Nintendo switch devlopement to give me access to it

but do not know how I do it

because it did not work with emails in my case

here is

Edited:
Oh…my bad. I think I misunderstood you post. Sorry.

Are you already working with a game publisher?

Thank you

No, I have never worked with the game publisher, this is my question since the beginning

how could i ask to work with had to ask nintendo to release me access for switch ?

Unfortunately, that sentence doesn’t make much sense, still not sure what you are asking. Not sure where you are in in the process, but, to start to develop for a Nintendo console (in Unity), you need:

  1. Apply for and be approved by Nintendo as a developer for that platform
  2. Get the Unity editor for that platform from Nintendo

All of that involves contacting Nintendo. And you will also need to be very clear about what you are asking. We (members here on this forum), aren’t going to be help you beyond what is noted above. Developing for Nintendo requires signing an NDA that prevents publicly discussing much of it. Nintendo is the one to answer your questions.

…You’ve created a lot of threads that are entirely about how to develop for consoles and you’ve gotten the same answers in each of those threads since 2018. Have you even made a game in the first place?

The versions provided by Nintendo are you 5.X, 2017.

which version numbers does this support support?

Murgilod : I’m late at this moment to target the platform

The version(s) that Nintendo provides you is the supported version(s).

Do you have Nintendo switch developer access on their developer site?
If yes, version information is there as are support resources.
If no, contact Nintendo developer program and become a developer for the switch and you will get access to the resources you need.

And again, no one here is legally allowed to discuss details of the developer program due to NDAs.
