The folks over at Eurogamer just dropped an interesting piece of information that many have speculated since the Switch was announced last week. According to the site’s sources, the Nintendo Switch will sport a 6.2″ 720p, multi-touch display.

(Both 3DS and Wii U featured resistive touchscreens, reliant on pressure and less precise. They were also single-touch only.)
