The Nintendo NX is now called the Nintendo Switch, and many of the upcoming game system's rumored capabilities have been confirmed by way of a peppy reveal video posted this morning. However, while the video showed happy people carrying the new home/portable hybrid system around and playing games on planes, at parties, and with friends, it also failed to show anybody doing something largely expected from a modern, handheld screen: touching it.
Does this mean the system's primary, portable screen does not support touch? Ars sent that question directly to Nintendo of America and received this statement as a response: "We have nothing to announce on this topic. We will make additional announcements about the Nintendo Switch hardware later, before the launch of the product.”
Peculiar, right? It doesn't bode well for touch functionality on the Switch, nor does the fact that Nintendo could have easily inserted a half-second moment of its video's gamers tapping the thing even once. That didn't happen. Does this mean the Nintendo touch era is over?
