We have seen just about everything else about the Nintendo Switch but one thing that we haven’t seen demoed is the Nintendo Switch’s multitouch screen. The first footage we’ve got showcasing the touchscreen shows how the system’s TouchSense technology makes the touchscreen controls come alive. The game demoed utilising this aspect of the Nintendo Switch is Skylanders Imaginators and it admittedly looks very responsive.

Looks like a touchscreen should work. It doesn’t have a resistive screen like the 3ds and wiiu
Looking nice so far.
I doubt that the touchscreen will get worse as it gets nearer to launch. It’s nice.
Can you please switch the source to GamingWithMe’s original video
1-2-Switch looks atrocious — Nintendo wants people milking a cow to look like idiots. I cannot understand how that can be fun.
Oh, and thanks for providing GamingWithMe’s original video.
So in a game that requires use of a touch screen, how would you play when the system is docked? Seems like a major limiting factor if you have to remove the console from the dock every time. Perhaps use of the motion control would replace touch while in TV mode?
That is a really good question. Most devs will probably take the same approach as many games that get ported from vita to PS4.
Which is? I don’t know what devs do in that case.
Splatoon used the IR pointer (or gyro controls I guess) to point to the spot on the screen though that is just a small sample. Not sure how touch heavy games would be.
Maybe with the motion of the JoyCon, like you pointed on Skyward Sword with the WiiMotionPlus
This is exactly why I was so confused when touchscreen capabilities were first announced. Since they’ve been so clear about there not being any tablet-exclusive games, it doesn’t make much sense to me. I guess it was future-proofing in case they ever changed their mind or something.
It was never mentioned in the reaval trailer.
Off topic, but is that guy in the green shirt a midget?
I think that’s a kid… If not then definitely a midget.
Homunculus.
That touchscreen has haptic feedback as well.
I think there was an article on it.
I believe that is correct.
Yes, Immersion Corporation’s haptic feedback touchscreen technology.
Yup, that’s pretty cool! The only other mainstream tech that has this (that i know of) is the new apple products and maybe some android phones. Its a really cool technology and should add some extra feedback to the experience.
Immersion TouchSense technology.

The TOUCH is real, folks…
