Nippon Ichi Software was confirmed as a partner for Switch, but it’s been unclear as to whether or not the company is actually working on projects for the platform. Fortunately, we can now say that the team is “in proper development”.

Speaking to Japanese website 4Gamer about its ambitions for 2017, NIS president Soheii Niikawa said:

“Nippon Ichi Software will deliver various content from Gifu Prefecture to the world. In 2017 as well, we will actively launch new IP in the consumer game market. But it doesn’t end there. We will steadily take on new initiatives. We also have Nintendo Switch project(s), so please look forward to that. (There has been some skepticism about our company’s participation, but…. we’re in proper development!)”

NIS has been primarily been known as a PlayStation developer, though the company did create some games for Wii and DS (plus an obscure 3DS game during the system’s early days). They’re known for the likes of Disgaea and Phantom Brave.

Here are the videos and descriptions of each:

Laura Kate Dale, who has leaked quite a bit of info on the Switch in the past few months, did an AmA (Ask me Anything) on the Switch subreddit last night. Obviously, most of the questions were about the Switch and what she knows about it. She did clarify a few points and also revealed some new info she believes to be correct. We’ve collected any new, updated and interesting info below; like always, take any of this with a grain of salt and a healthy amount of skepticism. This especially applies to the following points since most of them don’t come from a proper report that Laura wrote, but instead from an informal series of posts of Reddit. Either way, the big Switch event is only 2 1/2 weeks away, so most of this info should be proven either correct or false by then.

According to Laura Kate Dale:
