- mikepurvis 6y agoThe Wii U had a pretty natural default though, with the touchscreen on your lap as the lower screen, and TV as upper screen. That whole model was (rightly) tossed for the Switch, so now any games which really depended on it are a bit of a dead end.
- perardi 6y agoYup, that's what I'm getting at. It's not an easy 1:1 translation. It was nice for games like Pokémon; easy access to the inventory, little mini-games on the touch screen, stuff like that. It obviously blew right up in their faces with the Wii U, but it worked for a certain class of game.
- coldpie 6y agoYes, but the Wii U DS eShop emulator supported showing both screens on your TV. They could do the same on Switch. See about 0:40 in the video I linked.
- TazeTSchnitzel 6y agoI think perardi is referring to how the touchscreen gimmick of the Wii U wasn't as successful as it was on the DS and 3DS, not to any problems with the emulation.
