Now that is an interesting thought. It seems like such a given that it never would have occured to me that it might not have a touchscreen.

Not a single person in the trailer even taps the screen a single time and pictures explaining the Switch on Nintendos site doesnt mention it at all.

They are only showing games in the trailer though. It could still have a touchscreen for tablet style apps. It can not use touchscreen for games as it has to work exactly the same on tv while the screen is locked inside the docking station. Lowest common denominator...
They did add splitscreen for the handheld, but will it be possible to have 4 player splitscreen on tv? And will the UI scale back for tv use or will all the icons and text appear huge.
