Some Switch Games Are Touchscreen-Only


Will we see Nintendo's own mobile games on the Switch?

Not all Nintendo Switch games will take advantage of the console's ability to play on the big screen. Some will only work when the Switch is in its handheld mode.

"As we see more games come up, we will see games that leverage the touchscreen more," Nintendo's Shinya Takahashi told us in an interview.

This jibes with Kotaku's report that Japanese Switch launch game Voez is mobile-only and isn't designed to be played when the console is docked.

A FAQ accompanying the game, already out on mobile devices, spells out the flat-out confirms mobile-only nature, saying "This software can not play in TV mode."

Touchscreen-only use for the Switch isn't anything out of the ordinary. "The home system menu takes advantage of the touchscreen already," Takahashi told us.

The Switch launches March 3, which is this Friday. Touchscreen-only Voez isn't a launch title outside of Japan. Make sure to check out our Switch launch titles wiki for a complete guide to every day-1 release.
