First look at Nintendo Switch touchscreen in action

Nintendo has showed off pretty much every aspect of the Switch with the exception of one: the touchscreen. Now we get to see it in action for the first time: and it's very responsive and accurate.

With all these games releasing at launch !! who would miss on this day 1 !!

CocoaBrother3421d ago

I wonder if some indie developers will make touch-screen focused games like Shin'en with an Art of Balance sequel/followup. I would definitely give it a go.

Ninte3421d ago

And you wonder why an hour presentation was way to short.

freshslicepizza3421d ago

it seems funny how hard nintendo is trying to sell this more of a console than a handheld. i guess they need to justify its $300 price.

porkChop3421d ago

They're marketing it as more of a console because A) it's replacing the Wii U, and B) they don't want to kill off the 3DS market.

... was this ever a concern? I fee like touch screens are such a normal, everyday thing now. The touch screen being "accurate and responsive" was never even a concern that crept into my head. But i guess some people really need this feature showcased...

mcstorm3421d ago

Some people just like to pick at anything and everything. The only issue I am seeing with the switch is for games that will use the touch screen as the console will have to be our the dock for it and can't be shown on the TV. That said I'm not to fussed about that side as it looks like we are back to 1 screen for Nintendo consoles but I did like some of the things added to games like pikmin, Starfox, Mario party 10 and more. For me though despite all the negative press on this site I can't wait to get my switch on day one.

its_JEFF3420d ago (Edited 3420d ago )

Makes sense, the 2nd screen offered something unique. Although I won't be getting one at launch I do love the idea of the Switch. I'm not home much, so gaming on the go is a very attractive thing for me and I think a lot of gamers. That's why i'm always looking around for a way to play my PS4 games away from home. Depending on 3rd party support, I may be coming a Nintendo guy again... maybe.

Mexxan3421d ago

I think it more a point of Nintendo actually making a decent screen after multi-crap screens of 3ds and Wii U

I'll have a hard time reaching it from my sofa.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle39d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
