Nintendo UK has confirmed the release date for the European physical version of Game Maker Garage.
Players can follow tutorials for visual programming; using Nodons to set up the scripts for their own games. Then, they can take what they know to make their own platformers, RPGs, shoot ’em ups, and more.
While the game launched June 11th, it was purely a digital launch in Europe. Now, Nintendo UK tweets that a physical version will be available on September 10th.
