See ya later, any potential crossover for DS/3DS functionality. Speaking to Polygon, Nintendo confirmed that the “Switch is dedicated to deliver a single-screen experience, on whatever screen you might choose.”

This comes after questions were asked as to what exactly the 'dock' part of the Switch can do. Would it be possible to play something using dual screens, a la the Wii U, if your TV was one display and the tablet another?

Nope! In picking up their feet and carrying on after the disastrous Wii U release, it appears Nintendo are getting as far away from what didn't work as possible. The Switch will be aiming for one screen, returning the core experience to 'gaming' in as direct a fashion as there's been for Nintendo since the GameCube.
