Nintendo Switch reported to have a 720p, 6.2 inch touchscreen

28 Oct 2016

Eurogamer today cites sources who allege that the Nintendo Switch supports a 720p, 6.2 inch touchscreen.

A ten-point multi-touch display will enable touch controls similar to that on smartphones and tablets, the sources continue.

Moreover, the sources continue to allege that the console’s Joy-Con controller sports an IR, short-range sensor on its right side. This sensor can be pointed at a TV, while the Switch is docked, to emulate basic touchscreen functionality.

This all, of course, is rumour. We’ll find out more on the Switch from Nintendo itself — including release date and pricing details — in January 2017.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
