i think like most others, it will have touch screen for patter designs for sure. seems easier that way and more likely. i dont think it's a feature otherwise that would be heavily used so i dont think the game itself will like, be made where you'll use it a lot outside of pattern making tho!
I'd assume there would be some touch screen capabilities, even if it's just for inventory/item selection and pattern making. I don't remember using the touch screen for that much else in NL honestly, but that was probably just my style of playing. You don't need the touch screen for a lot of switch games, but most games do have some form of touh screen functionality in them.
yup this is what im thinking too. or at least hoping! it would be a hassle to design rooms with just controls.
and also to design actual "designs" like paths, flags, wallpaper, etc.
