Just to share our experience and probably ask what you guys think....

I'm partly working for private well-established multimedia school here in Singapore and was task to acquire a Nintendo Switch Dev Kit to be part of our new curriculum. I emailed Nintendo (and the powers that be) in Japan to enquire on how to get a dev kit. They replied and ask us to wait as they working on something as "to have schools and corporation to be able to access" the kits. So we did. This was back in January this year. I emailed them again, asking for any updates, they replied "We can't send you the kit for the purpose for education."

 

I don't get it. It's not the waiting. I thought that developing for the Switch or any if their platform involving more devs would be a reasonable strategy for them. What do you guys think?
