EA Chief Competition Officer Peter Moore also shared a statement at the Credit Suisse 2016 Annual Technology Conference that Nintendo will always play an important partner and that a game will be made on the Switch.

In addition to the game, the new gaming console will also feature a multi-touch screen, which unlike its predecessors the Wii U, 3DS, or DS, uses capacitive technology. The report also said that the device will feature a 6.2 inches display, with 720p resolution, and will support up to 10 touch points.

In terms of release date, the Japanese company has already confirmed a March 2017 release date for the Nintendo Switch, although the exact date will be announced this coming January 2017.

In terms of pricing, Nintendo has not released any detail about pricing yet, but Ovum analyst Paul Jackson makes some predictions, suggesting a £200-£220 ($253.80-$279.18) price tag, which according to the analysts would represent the "sweet spot for mass adoption".

Recent leaks suggested the Nintendo Switch will cost around £200, but nothing has been confirmed by the Japanese gaming giant Nintendo.
