    There are a LOT of first and second party developers at Nintendo. Wow. But this was an interesting list to read through at least. It definitely makes me think some of these developers who haven't done much in the past might be given more projects. Nintendo wants a lot of big games on Switch so it seems like they are gearing them up to be able to do slightly bigger projects, specifically if they are teams generally used for 3DS games. (like Grezzo, who developed Ever Oasis after doing mostly just remakes of Zelda games)
