Yeah. What was surprising for me is (so far) it doesn't seem like they've really done anything to court any of the mid-to-big tier games over from PS4/Vita despite a lot releasing over the coming months. Off the top of my head - DanganRonpa V3; Valkyria Revolution; Super Robot Wars V; Musou Stars; Blue Reflection; Accel World vs. SAO etc. All this stuff - Vita games, that'd be an easy port over to Switch that seems to be absent. Instead it just looks like they've gone to Square Enix and given then a small amount of money to port over some recent games and said "that'll do" (and NIS decided to port Disgaea 5 as a "hey look we're Nintendo devs now!" pity port).
I've no doubt that 1 year down the line, we'll see more of these games go PS4/Switch, but right now for the foreseeable future it looks like Vita is still a safe bet for multi-plats. Which of course I'm very pleased with as long as they come west, but still a bit surprised with.
I'm just gonna see where Falcom/Gust end up. Those are my two favourites of the otaku developers. I've a feeling NIS will cling on to Vita/PS4 for a while longer and Compile Heart/Acquire do whatever the hell they want, which is good for us at least (Compile Heart will be on board for longer, I can almost guarantee that. I'd be surprised to see them embracing Switch).

4 years of being a Vita fan has helped with that :P
