	[[File:NintendoSDK GfxPrimitiveRenderer.png\|thumb\|"GfxPrimitiveRenderer" sample from the SDK.]]		The NintendoSDK is the Software Development Kit for the Nintendo Switch. It appears to have been in-development during the time of the [https://wiki.raregamingdump.ca/index.php/INDY INDY] prototype, before the NX project. It has been found in other non-Switch games, like ''Breath of the Wild''<ref>https://zeldamods.org/wiki/Software_libraries</ref>.[[File:NintendoSDK GfxPrimitiveRenderer.png\|thumb\|"GfxPrimitiveRenderer" sample from the SDK.\|none\|459x459px]]

			[[File:NintendoSDK Firmware known versions.jpg\|196x196px\|thumb\|Switch firmware is labelled as "NintendoSDK Firmware for NX"]]Due to being in-development before the console it was targeted for, NintendoSDK was given a generic name. It is sometimes also referred to as <code>nnSdk</code> due to it sharing the <code>nn</code> namespace with the [[Nintendo 3DS\|3DS's]] SDK.

	The NintendoSDK is the Software Development Kit for the Nintendo Switch. Its name is generic because it was apparently being developed before the NX (the INDY), and was even used for BoTW on Wii U. It is also called the “nnSdk” due to it using the “nn” namespace, shared by the 3DS SDK.		The NintendoSDK usually refers to itself by the same name, and not specifically the Switch or NX’s SDK.
