The possibilities are unclear. It seems either Nintendo won’t release it (they might not understand the situation) OR they’ll likely create a fan-made version that gets taken down.

I understand this, and it's an issue. Nintendo should focus more and genuinely attempt things instead of just trying.

People seem focused on UE4, it looks interesting, and it's new, right? I think there are fewer newsworthy posts here that match the attention this one is getting.

Are you sure this works only on Windows? It seems odd that developers stick to certain tools like DirectX, even though there are better options that work across platforms.

It's not my decision, C++ isn't very clear, I really like UE4 but without a simple scripting tool it feels useless to me. Unfortunately, nobody seems to create a low-level language like C++ that offers the same ease and productivity as C# or Java, despite having many libraries already built. The concepts in C++ I find difficult, even though I get them: - Macros and inline functions are confusing, what’s that doing here? - Having .h and .cpp files in one place is problematic, especially when you add more classes and they interact, a single file would simplify things. - This seems to be meant for simple management, but it actually works the opposite compared to C# scripts in Unity. - Compilation times are too long. - In UE4 there’s no autocomplete in the IDE (even though it doesn’t support C++), which makes it hard—files are numerous and include files take forever to show suggestions, forcing me to remember details like UPROPERTY parameters that don’t get help. - Everything in C# comes with a description and is easy to grasp without looking up online, but with C++ it’s the reverse. I’m just starting with both C# and C++, so I might be mistaken, but learning C++ concepts only makes it more frustrating. I know C# has limitations because it’s Microsoft’s language, but I still struggle with C++, even though everyone talks about C++ 11/14 as a modern tool with new features. The STL and UE API are full of macros, which only add to the confusion whenever I see them used as parameters or called randomly.
