As of October 23, 2026, the Nintendo Switch programming software "PetitCon 4 SmileBASIC" is no longer available for download.
Most recently, server updates to address a PHP vulnerability occurred immediately after some services had resumed.
This software allows users to create games and enjoy various programming activities on the Nintendo Switch. In addition to featuring “SmileBASIC,” a programming language designed for beginners, it also provides a variety of creation tools and presets.
It also features a function for sharing created programs online, and server maintenance due to a PHP vulnerability was recently carried out. The service for uploading and downloading creations had just resumed.
However, as of this writing (October 23, 2026, 10:30 PM), it appears the game is unavailable for purchase from the Nintendo Store both domestically and internationally.
While there has been no announcement regarding the sales suspension on the official website or X accounts (@PetitComputer/@smilebasic_com), overseas media outlets such as Twisted Voxel have reported a connection to an incident where a method for modifying two Nintendo Switch consoles by exploiting a vulnerability in this title was disclosed.
The Game*Spark editorial team is currently confirming with the distributor the reason for the sales suspension and whether the game is scheduled to go back on sale.
