Screen
The display of Nvidia shield featured a 720p resolution. Hence, it is reasonable to expect that the Switch will feature a 1080p.The size is roughly estimated to be 7 inches. The screen is not available with screen split option. The player can only play on the single screen available. The trailer shows no sign that the tablet screen is touch sensitive.
Featured Games
Nintendo has just released the list that would support the switch platform. It contains Activision, EA, Ubisoft, FromSoftware(from Dark Souls Series), etc. Nevertheless, the trailer shows a wide variety of games like a version of Skyrim, a basketball game, the new Zelda game, Breath of the Wild and a new Mario game in the style of Classic Mario 64.
Switch Pro controller
If the gaming controllers seem to be outrageously diminished then, the players are available with a pro controller option, similar to the gaming pad that comes with familiar Xbox and the play station.
Multiplayer
The games with multiplayer settings show that the developers are considering the online mode wherein stress lies on E-sports. Though it is a promising start, it is better not to build the hopes high.
