On its social media channels yesterday, Image & Form posted a mysterious video that might be hinting at upcoming announcements.
Towards the end of the video, the date December 10, 2015 is highlighted. Right after that, we see a Joy-Con flying off-screen. SteamWorld Heist happened to launch on December 10, 2015… so perhaps that game is coming to Switch?
During the latest Arc System Works live stream, a few characters from the crossover fighter BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle were shown. We have the relevant recording below.
