Serious Sunday: Nintendo for Indies - Open platform development, Switch dev kits at $450
27This week, Luke talks about the recent announcement that Nintendo is releasing its Switch development kits to the general public for $450 (USD), and its additional free development license program and what that means for independent developers interested in creating software for the brand new hardware.
He also considers how this move could positively impact the Nintendo Switch in the long-run, giving it a much-needed boost by allowing small, risk-taking indie studios to innovate on a platform that is known for oddball innovation.

Serious Sunday is a freeform, sometimes roundtable discussion between the members of Level 0 NPCs, where a specific topic is pre-selected by the group to be explored and discussed at length. Each of the NPCs approach the topic from both the perspective of a seasoned, die-hard gamer, and as creators of games themselves. Part freeform review, part critical analysis, part video game book club, Serious Sunday is where the NPCs take a step back and take a moment to give a serious look at something that is important to the industry, or games in general.
