IGN: Switch - amiibo supported, dock details, Nintendo quiet on touch screen ability

GN Version 5.0

The following comments come from an IGN interview with a Nintendo rep...

amiibo

"If a Nintendo Switch game supports amiibo then the Nintendo Switch home gaming system will as well."

Docking station

"The dock is not the main console unit of Nintendo Switch. The main unit of Nintendo Switch is the unit that has the LCD screen, which the two Joy-Con controllers can be attached to and detached from. The main function of the Nintendo Switch Dock is to provide an output to the TV, as well as charging and providing power to the system."

Touch screen ability

"We will make additional announcements about the Nintendo Switch hardware later, before the launch of the product."

Thanks to OperationGamer17 for the heads up!
