Speaking to Nikkei (thanks to Gematsu for the translation), Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino stated the following:
“Basically, in the future our main titles will all be released on Nintendo Switch. The idea is that what we have created for 3DS will move over to Switch.”

Super Bomberman R has sold nearly one million copies worldwide on Switch. That’s according to Konami president Hideki Hayakawa, who shared the news in an interview with Nikkei Trendy.
Hayagawa pointed out how Super Bomberman R was the only completely original third-party title available at Switch’s launch. That alone helped the game catch on with new system owners. Aside from Japan, it has been performing well in the west.
Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima confirmed that Super Bomberman R shipped over 500,000 copies in March 2017, less than a month after the release of Switch.

Stain and Shota Aizawa confirmed for My Hero Academia: One’s Justice
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The latest issue of Weekly Jump confirms to more characters for the roster of My Hero Academia: One’s Justice. Stain and Shota Aizawa, a villain and hero respectively, will both be playable.
Stain is voiced by Gou Inoue. He uses quick movement, and specializes in long-distance knife-throwing attacks. With his “Bloodcurdle” quirk, he can stop opponents from moving. As he continues to cut away at the enemy, the more the effect increases.
Shota Aizawa, voiced by Junichi Suwabe, uses his Capturing Weapon. This makes his opponents unable to use their quirk. Doing so lets Shota perform counter attacks in close combat.
