Nintendo is very protective of running pirated or unofficial games, ever since the late 80's, when knock-off games were rampant and leading up to today with DRM. I'm sure it's against their policies to sell a game where users are allowed to write arbitrary games/code without Nintendo approval.
It would be different if the game was sold as a Ruby interpreter, because then they could at least verify it's capabilities and make an informed judgement about whether they should allow it.
- naikrovek 8y agohttps://developer.nintendo.com/ https://developer.nintendo.com/ To get an account there, you must agree to a few things, one being an NDA, and to get a Switch dev kit you must agree to a few more things, as well as go through a case-by-case evaluation of your game idea, if you are not an established game developer. We won't be seeing the agreement(s) that were likely broken, and if you can see them, you are under NDA.
