Built-in shader system (PBR)

Post effects

3D physics engine (using NVIDIA's PhysX system)

2D physics engine (using Box2D or LiquidFun)

Scripting (via Lua) and a dedicated scripting debugger

Networking system (Nintendo's peer-to-peer Pia network system or NEX)

Nintendo Switch System Feature support (such as HD Rumble and the IR Motion Camera)

Complete asset building systemBezel Engine is extendible for developers, allowing for modular capabilities inside of the engine. Open source libraries and proprietary libraries can form a more modular developer environment.The engine is also technically backward compatible with NintendoWare, so developers can leverage experience and can port assets and audio.
