SmileBASIC for Wii U - "Official" Megathread

Value for HARDWARE on BIG is 2 https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAADAAB2V0fgEgm3iA Those of you just using IF HARDWARE will need to patch your code maybe.

Switch will be 3, calling it.

That involves an actual Switch release, doesn't it? Pix-.. uh... prac-... running BIG on the Switch won't mean it can detect the environment. I wouldn't get too excited for a Switch release just yet. ^{_{Words are hard to remember}}

Look what I found for WiiU version. Same BG as 3DS version New logo sprite for SmileBASIC BIG!! 8x8 font same as 3DS version (font may not be visible on white background) 16x16 detailed font! (font may not be visible on white background)

Hey, you can actually read the Kanji now!

lol yes

I noticed that I couldn't read the compressed mess of 8x8 kanji on 3ds.

To be fair Kodoma did very well for 8x8. A small few really are just blobs, though.

Do the games made on the 3DS work on the wii U version? If they do then that would already give me a great reason to buy it.

IIRC, they do.

Fantastic! Now if only I had home internet... (I live kind of out in the boonies)

Today marks the day that SmileBASIC BIG's relevancy ended before it even began outside of Japan.

I'll buy a Wii U if SB BIG comes out in the US

Me too.

Any chance somebody is working on a translated function guide for this? I'm sure it's not too different from the 3DS version but, I'd hate to drop a bunch of money on a Japanese Wii U and spend most of my time deciphering google translate nonsense.

It's really not all that different. I've gleaned pretty much all of the info required through Google Translate.

So is it known whether this will ever come out in the US?

I don't see why not. But then again, I don't see why SmileBASIC never came out in Europe, yet, that's still the case.

I really hope this comes out in the US. I don't want to keep programming in SmileBASIC on a tiny screen with a keyboard not really meant for programming (a.k.a. a horrible experience for programming). Plus, it'd be exciting to try out SmileBASIC programs with a PC-like experience (if you put your Wii U on a desk and hook it to a PC monitor).

i'd imagine it would still only support one key at a time for input, even with a usb keyboard.
