A simple collection of development tools for Wii, 3DS, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch.
Useful for modding some Nintendo video games when there are no open-source, legal versions of the modding tools that can edit some games' assets.
I am not affiliated with Nintendo in any way.
We also have a backup page on Rentry - make sure to bookmark it! :)
Warning
While these tools are useful for modding video games, you should not mention what SDK tools you use to create mods, or share this repo on any video game modding communities (such as Discord) as they don't allow sharing copyrighted software. I am not responsible if you got banned from those communities for doing so :P
The SDK tools here were grabbed from the Rare Gaming Dump shared drive for easy access.
