App Details
Over the last few weekends I have been porting the Commander Keen interpreter Commander Genius to the Nintendo Switch. I am quite happy with the current state of the port, which supports plenty of features. Most notably:
Multiplayer co-op with up to four players
Touch screen support
Integrated game downloader (Requires WiFi)
Native resolution (+ scaling options)
Action Button
Walking directions (Left, Right, Up, Down) - Directional buttons (On left Joycon)
Jump A
Run B
Pogo X
Shoot Y
Back/Menu Plus +
Status Minus –
Camlead (Multiplayer) R
Help L
ADDING THE GAMES
To use the integrated downloader just select “+ More” after starting Commander Genius. Depending on the mirror the download sometimes takes up to ~30 seconds. If it still fails, just try again or download the games manually.
If the integrated downloader causes issues, or if one just wants to keep the Switch offline, the shareware titles can also be downloaded here and extracted to /switch/CommanderGenius/games/ on the SD card.
Note: Besides the shareware episodes, Commander Genius also supports the commercial Commander Keen titles.
SOURCE CODE
My patches to the Switch port can be found on GitHub and were built using devkitPro. Big thanks to Gerhard Stein for Commander Genius and his support that made this port possible. We will also be working to upstream the changes so the Switch port can keep up with the latest development.
