TouchSense, a haptic technology, will be implemented in the Switch's touchscreen

Interesting ideas but all sound too complex or not available in all configurations. Gyros seem like the simplest answer, especially since it would seem there is no IR camera in the Pro controller.

THIS must be the feature the Senran Kagura developer was talking about.
Oh good lord, the next SK game on Switch is gonna be lewd as fuck

Wii U controller had a camera and expansion port that were never used. Too early to say if certain features are "worth the money".

This might be a hard thing to communicate on launch day.
Interesting how many smaller directs they will have in the lead up to launch. Maybe another features one including this tech, the Fire Emblem one... Interesting days ahead.

Senran kagura and more more heroes 3 are going to be bloody brilliant.
Should have put that money into more GFLOPS and bigger battery and cooling solution. /s Hows that then? I mean these maybe nonissues to you but to some they might be so.
I think they went this route since the positioning as a mobile device people seem to notice cool interfaces and usage tech than raw power. The battery life and recharge time though.... WTH. I can only forsee a Switch Pro or XL deluxe during Christmas or something like that with a larger battery and larger screen that doesn't add to the depth of the unit so you can still use the existing docks. Either that or there is still extra space in the unit for a slightly larger battery.
Haptics might be cool not gonna lie. Its just up to them to show if they are compelling enough to have them in the first place.
Takaki the god, my body is ready.

It depends on if Nintendo has a haptic engine behind the screen, and what Nintendo has licensed immersion tech to do. If it does involve the screen, then it uses the haptic engine behind the screen to simulate the feelings of texture and pressure through sophisticated vibration techniques. It's pretty neat stuff. It could also be related to the HD Rumble in the joycons. Immersion tech owns a range of IP for different types of haptic feedback.

Nintendo didn't mention anything screen related, not the technology nor the software
We know Super Mario Maker will be on Switch one way so Nintendo might be holding the screen info to market the core feature of the Switch and avoid over complicating the message.

this...doesn't tell us anything. we already know they are behind the HD rumble of the JoyCons :|
The best part? If it's "too lewd" for NA audiences...WE CAN IMPORT IT NOW DUE TO NO REGION-LOCK! \o/

Haptic nip feedback confirmed.
Kenichiro Takaki will call it "Faptic Feedback". Just you watch.

At first reading this thread said it wasn't. I was actual "sensation of buttons" on the touchscreen
now i skipped to the last couple pages and everyone is saying its just the HD Rumble
so yeah, I guess its just the ice cubes
It might not be that big as I doubt there will be many touch screen specific games and if there are they'd have to be playable when docked so would've have to work with the joycons too.
Wonder if there are stipulations that companies have to make a game that runs and works well both docked and on tv or if some games can be handheld-centric.
That's gonna be a development/testing overhead not seen before eh.

Oh good god yes. All hail Takaki!
Well now that another site reported it i hope we get the truth faster.

I don't get it. The touchscreen wouldnt work when you're playing in docked mode.. Isn't that why we haven't seen any game use the touchscreen? I thought it would only be used for UI purposes?
Maybe some time later, Nintendo would introduce touch-only games (like port of small mobile games) to Switch. As for today they seem hell-bent on delivering the message that Switch will support multiple modes of play.

Damn. I hope it's true.

I think they really want to push that the Switch is a home console you can play on the go, vs a portable that can be docked and so are focusing on the full fat console games right now.
I hope they won't stop people from making games that use the touch screen.

Could make Nintendogs quite interesting. I think something like this could make the switch very attractive for kids. Imagine books for children in which the pages give you haptic feedback.
I think you should quote the official PR in the OP and not the interpretation of that article.
You are practically misinforming at this point after all the discussion by not updating the OP.
And if you think better about it, this is not helping Nintendo in any way. If the touch screen is bullshit any negative feedback to that would be because of this thread.
No Vibrator mention on the Nintendo Switch patent:
But it does mention an accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer. Interesting. That means with Joycons attached you have 3 redundant sets of motion sensors in the "one" device. Must be super accurate, lol.

No Vibrator mention on the Nintendo Switch patent:
For the record, there have been quite a few changes from the patent application. It was also filed in June 2015 in Japan, so I'd expect a substantial amount of changes actually.
We now have IGN reporting the same thing, so even if it turns out not to be true it's certainly worthwhile to have a thread discussing this. Maybe a disclaimer in the OP about how this might be a misunderstanding could help?

I didn't understand, I thought vibration only existed in the Switch Pro Controller but according to http://cogconnected.com/feature/joy-con-hd-rumble-is-a-game-changer/
Joy-Cons have advanced HD rumble too. It is not clear yet.
So the screen has haptic feedback with real buttons sensation and the Joy-Cons have HD Rumble that can emulate different vibrations according to the situations, right?
