Good to hear that you're venturing into the world of Switch, Osito! Yeah, I didn't take to Aces (it's the only Switch game that I've traded in so far) but some folk are really enjoying it (I believe Jazzem has put around 40 hours in). I prefer to keep the joy-con connected to the console and use the Pro when in docked mode. It's great that you've gotten fun out of the excellent Odyssey!

Retro's project really is a mystery. I guess they must have been working on something(s) since 2014 when Tropical Freeze launched... and, as I believe they're a developer of reasonable size, probably before that. My thinking is that either they were some way down the track on a Wii U project and they've been expanding the scope of that for Switch; or they ditched a project and started on something afresh. It's incredible that we haven't heard an inkling from them for four years. Maybe part of their team did the Trop Freeze port to Switch?
I had to Google Next Level to remind myself what they'd done before (Luigi Mansion 2 and Metroid Fed Force). I'd imagine that they could be involved in making the upcoming Luigi's Mansion game for 3DS?

Meanwhile, I've started my Saturday in a somewhat rebellious fashion. I've changed my Switch theme from white to black. Never wanted to before, but now it just feels
right. I'm kinda hoping it's not gonna be too much longer before I can apply an Animal Crossing theme, though.
I believe the Luigi’s Mansion port is being handled by Grezzo (who previously did the Majora’s Mask and OoT ports).
I think it’s fair to say NLG aren’t doing Federation Force 2, but their past games include Punch-out on Wii and Mario Strikers in addition to Luigi’s Mansion 2. I wouldn’t be surprised if they have one of those franchises in development for Switch at the moment.
Regarding Retro, the general consensus seems to be their first post TF project hit problems and may have been cancelled/delayed with the Starfox Grand Prix project starting in 2016 ish. If true that may be ready for a 2019 release. All rumours though of course.
