New evidence has emerged pointing to a release of the well-received horror puzzle platformer Little Nightmares on Switch. The news comes from the CV of a staffer at Engine Software – a company that has previously handled Switch ports. Engine Software previously worked on The Escapists 2, Blossom Tales, and Monopoly for Switch.
The employee at the studio makes it pretty clear that the port is happening. We have the relevant excerpt from the LinkedIn profile below:

Nintendo says Super Mario Odyssey was always planned for Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The time between Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Odyssey was four years. Super Mario 3D World came to Wii U in November 2013, while Mario Odyssey launched last October.
Since it took several years for a new Super Mario game from EAD Tokyo and Odyssey arrived in time for Switch’s first year, some have wondered if the title was ever in development for Wii U. Nintendo ruled that out in the latest issue of Game Informer.
[Let’s Talk] Switch and ports
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
One topic brought up when people discuss Switch these days is the amount of ports (or re-releases) the system is receiving. Nintendo itself has brought over a number of games from the Wii U era – normally with a few extras – including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokken Tournament DX, Bayonetta 1 and 2, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (in May). We’ve also seen games from other platforms make their way to Switch, including The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom, L.A. Noire, and more.
Some feel that there are too many older games coming to Switch. On the other hand, those in favor of the idea point out the benefit of portable play and how some of these titles were previously not on Nintendo platforms.
What side of the fence do you side on? Do you feel that there are too many ports finding their way to Switch? Or are you in favor of past releases joining the platform? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
