For developers/publishers, I listed a decent number of major franchises that could show up on the Nintendo Switch. I thought it would be interesting to see what kinds of games we could be seeing on the console.
For companies that make software or engines or tools, I listed a brief summary of what they do. (Based on the number of these companies, I'd say the Switch is much easier to port games to than the Wii U.)
I probably won't update this, so feel free to copy this and add additional confirmed companies.

The "Bethesda" you're talking about isn't a developer, but a publisher. There isn't any ambiguity surrounding their dev teams either — they're all distinct entities. If you want to list them, you'd have to get into Bethesda Game Studios, Tango Gameworks, Arcane, ID Software, etc.
And the Switch sounds like a perfect platform for Tales.
Parity Bit was established 20 years ago. They initially developed titles for the PC and home consoles, but gradually made the shift towards handhelds. Their Calcio Bit series on the GBA/3DS was notably published by Nintendo themselves.
Please bear in mind there was an existing 'List of Known Switch Games' thread. I appreciate this is coming at it from a slightly different angle, so I'm gonna let this roll for now, but it might be worth voluntarily porting this discussion to that thread now before it gets much further into cross-over territory. Thanks.
