It want. It seems that games will not have touch screen function. IMO touch screen is there just for using Switch like real tablet for media, browsing, YouTube, movies, music..

Don't expect that, that would be totally against whole play same "game at home and on go"

There is no single chase that Nintendo would put 720p but to make 540p games, all Nintendo games running in handheld mode will 100% running at 720p native resolution.

That's assuming is basically that Switch handheld without dock has power only to render games at 720p and that using all its strength to render games only at 720p , but reality is that 720p screen doesnt mean just 720p power. Switch itself can be strong enough for 1080p but has output for 720p screen because battery life. We know that Switch will be around 3x stronger than Wii U, in docked mode could be even more stronger, thats definatly enuf for Nintendo 1080p games in docked mode, remember even Wii U had some 1080p Nintendo games.

The development kit spec had 2ghz which assume is docked especially with the power hungry gpu. I can honestly see portable mode being clocked as low as 0.9ghz to get good battery life. Originally I was thinking 1.2ghz but maybe that is the short battery life that has been rumoured. They may go lower before launch to get good battery life. I'm sure portable mode has some battery saving features based on when there is a reduced load too so I think 2.2x is perfectly possible and maybe even ideal for making sure both portable and home mode can run the same games just at different resolutions. Not forgetting the portable is passively cooled and the dock probably adds active cooling which again often has a difference of 2-3x in speed between the 2 cooling methods.

I haven't heard anything about a 2GHz development kit spec from anyone. 

Eurogamer's source said it was about 2-3x a PS3. A developer on Andatech Forums has said it's 1/3 of an XBox One with very weak memory bandwidth (not surprising, LPDDR4 is commonly 25GB/sec, that would be no where close to an XBox One or especially a PS4). 

Emily Rogers said its below an XBox One. The Mario game shown in that trailer looked marginally better than a Wii U game, it didn't look like a full generational leap ahead at all though. 

wow comparing Neogaf and Vgchartz thread about 720p screen discussion really funny

at vgchartz majority of users are aware and informed about 720p is for native rendered gaming on portable mode
while at Neogaf almost half of users unable to pinpoint the difference between resolution of rendering and screen resolution then you will get gold like this

"No kidding. 720p is a travesty, no question about it.


In a day and age where we have 1440p cell phones that last +/-5 hours of screen on time, not to mention standby, this news is underwhelming. But Nintendo can and has done a lot with less before so if the games are there, it won't matter."

lol

It's huge and cumbersome as a handheld and hardly has any extra home console functionality.

If this is true then it's a huge disappointment and the "hybrid" rumours were just an illusion.

Honestly I want 1080p gaming in the living room and not be forced to go back to blurry PS3-graphics.
