Have you ever wanted to make a game but were too lazy to learn how? Well now you don’t have to be lazy to learn, you can use RPG Maker Fes! a game announced by NIS at their 2017 press event.

Check out this trailer:

You may not be able to create 3D game’s but if you have an RPG type game idea then this game will probably give you all the tools necessary. We will have to wait and see what kind of tools will be in the game but I am pretty excited for it mostly because  you will be able to download other people’s creations to play. Potentially this means there will be a HUGE amount of games to play from this.

Expect it Summer of 2017 on the 3DS!
