Nintendo sees mobile market as a marketing method for their core experience, i.e. not bringing full-fledged Nintendo games to Mobiles, which in my opinion is the right thing.
I'm always against Nintendo's use of smartphone app to voice chat with friends. Hopefully one day they release a "major software" update that gives system level voice chat and makes millions on Switch owners happy.
I'm not really convinced with this answer, like many here. This is an utter bull crap excuse as Fortnite proved that voice chat can work by just plugging any headset into the headphone jack and talk normally. This "different approach" thing is a bad excuse, and Nintendo needs to at least do like Sony and Microsoft did, especially in this matter.
Why's everyone acting so surprised? This game utilizes most of Joy-Con's motion control and the usage of a single Joy-Con, and from the many games that I've seen on YouTube, I don't see any reason using the Switch as a handheld for this game in particular.
@SonOfVon Hope you're joking. MOBA was and still one of the most played genre in video game history. Look at WoW, LoL or even Dota 2, they are generating millions of dollars almost each month, and they are filled with new content on regular basis. If you still think it'll be forgotten, I don't know what else to say.
The game has DC characters: Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, and the Joker. Plus, some dynasty-based heroes like Lu Bu and Diao Chan (I think?) are also available to play as. There are plenty of characters to choose from.
@LUIGITORNADO I forgot to tell you also that Nintendo will give you the pattern design of the labo itself for free so all you need is paste it on a cardboard and make your own Labo. I understand that you don’t like this idea, but please don’t attack others who like the idea.

Re: Super Mario Party For Nintendo Switch Won't Support Handheld Mode

Re: Wireless NES Controllers Won't Work With Other Games On Nintendo Switch

The game has DC characters: Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, and the Joker. Plus, some dynasty-based heroes like Lu Bu and Diao Chan (I think?) are also available to play as. There are plenty of characters to choose from.
Re: Hands On: The Future Of Gaming Is Cardboard, Thanks To Nintendo Labo
@LUIGITORNADO I forgot to tell you also that Nintendo will give you the pattern design of the labo itself for free so all you need is paste it on a cardboard and make your own Labo. I understand that you don’t like this idea, but please don’t attack others who like the idea.
Re: Hands On: The Future Of Gaming Is Cardboard, Thanks To Nintendo Labo
@LUIGITORNADO You can make your own Labo with your cardboard. The price is for the cardboard plus the software.
Re: Nintendo Announces Labo, A Range Of Interactive DIY Toys For Switch
That was interesting. Never though that Switch can be played like in the trailer, especially that fishing segment.
