Nintendo Switch Will Not Support HTML5

Since I've been seeing a lot of ambiguity around whether or not the Nintendo Switch is willing and able to provide support for HTML5 Games and/or Construct 3, I decided to send an email to Nintendo of America Support to see if I could get a straight answer on the subject.

The reply was:

The Nintendo Switch does not support HTML5/JavaScript development. There are no plans to support it in the future. We apologize for the inconvenience.

So it would seem that the definitive answer would be no, there will be no support for Construct Games on the Nintendo Switch; unless one goes through the same process that The Next Penelope did, which may be a bit complicated for those of us who are inexperienced.

If you don't know what i'm referring to, here's the link to the article:

Hope this helped clear some things up.

Yeah. The Community is aware about that. For a long time now.

Even someone made a campaign. Which some of us didn't believe it would actually work since on the performance level, it would be a bad idea.

But if you are using Construct 2, then you have a chance to use Chowdren. construct.net/forum/construct-2/general-discussion-17/chowdren-fast-construct-2-runt-134395

A Service to port Construct 2 games as native games. Either Desktop, Nintendo Switch, Mobile and etc.

Although, if you are using Construct 3. Then you are most likely out of luck and have to make a deal with someone else who would want to make a Construct 3 porter from scratch.

My point is that the only way is a native port.

Oh yeah. Making a native porter for Construct 3 might be infeasible since Construct 3 is sealed from the outside unlike Construct 2.

Nah a Chowdren type of conversion should work about the same for C3.

The project files are pretty hackable, the export, specifically the exported runtime is the black box.

Each having the possibility of being unique from any other runtime.
