My very personal take on the Switch: I am a Nintendo fan, but I consider myself balanced, with my feet on the ground. Although I bought the Wii U, I never felt that I could recommend it to my friends. With the Switch, I will of course get it for me, but now I feel like I can tell a friend, without any concern of disappointment, to get one if they can. I'm really optimistic about it.
As a programmer and teacher of programming, I love Human Resource Machine. I love to use it in my lessons. But let me warn you, it's meant as a fun and very elegant way to teach the concept of programming and algorithmic thinking. But it can be very boring if you get into it looking for a normal game.
I'm buying this game anyway. I'd do it even if it only came with Swahili voice acting. What I've found most interesting though, is how people prefer foreign languages. My mother tongue is Spanish, and I've always played games in English because in Spanish they sound "too real". It breaks the immersion. And for many here it's the same with English & Japanese. Cool.
I think this issue is being overblown. This does not compare to software piracy and poses almost no threat to Nintendo. Software piracy means developers don't get paid for their work. This device doesn't hurt Nintendo. People buy amiibo for the figures, not the tiny hidden sections of content in the games. Let it go.
