Nintendo Gaming / Re: Switch Rumors and Speculation Thread (Mighty Switch Force Edition)

I'd be shocked if Switch didn't have a touchscreen. My guess is Nintendo wanted to focus on core games and the unit itself, and any touchscreen use in the trailer would immediately remind people of Wii U. Smart.
I don't see there having been any need to show off functionality. It is not like touchscreens are anything new in this modern age of tablets.
The DS always was the third pillar.Nile does bring up a good point, though. What will happen to Nintendo's handheld lines?
Probably the same thing that happened to the Game Boy line when the DS arrived, unless the NS sells poorly. In that case, there will likely be a 3DS successor in typical fashion. Beginning next year, we are transitioning from the console+portable model to the hybrid+mobile model.
