During Nintendo's Nindie Showcase Event, a game called Project Mekuru was officially revealed from developer Over Fence.

Project Mekuru ("mekuru" means "flipping" in Japanese) is a puzzle game made in Unity and exclusive to the Switch. No release date has yet been announced. Nintendo released what appears to be a brief glimpse of Mekuru in a sizzle reel back at the January Nintendo Switch unveiling event, however the game from Over Fence, was not detailed at that time.

The showcase today included a look at the game's four-player battle mode, which tasks players with smashing into the ground and flipping over the tiles on the arena's floor to their color. The game will include Mii support.
