In the mean time, here’s some additional details, courtesy of Image & Form:
SteamWorld Quest is the roleplaying card game you’ve been waiting for! Lead a party of aspiring heroes through a beautifully hand-drawn world and intense battles using only your wits and a handful of cards. Take on whatever threat comes your way by crafting your own deck choosing from over 100 unique punch-cards! What awaits you is a luscious treasure chest filled with gold, dragons, vivid worlds, magic, knights in shining armor as well as XP, turn-based battles and all that good RPG stuff! The game’s humorous mix of traditional fantasy and steampunk robots makes for an unforgettable experience with lots of laughs.
Finally, here’s a couple of screenshots:

New Star Manager
Today, New Star Manager (a sports management game) was announced for the Nintendo Switch. It will be released pretty soon… next week, in fact: on January 31st!
Here’s some details:
New Star Manager is soccer management like you’ve never experienced it – be more than just a player, be the head, the heart, and backbone of New Star FC. Be the Manager. New Star Manager sees players take control of New Star FC – a beleaguered soccer club in need of strong management skills and good instincts to unlock the team’s potential and make it to the top of the game.

Change at any time between touch screen and Joy-Conä controls in handheld mode, or use the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller!

OFF-PITCH DRAMA
Handle volatile players and get their mind back in the game by monitoring their concerns, outbursts, and quirks. Keep the board off your back, navigate the hostile waters of the sporting press, and make sure the fans keep believing… while keeping a careful eye on the club’s finances!
