I did the same thing as you - created an account to comment here.
They could have utilized iOS and Android by allowing them to play the role of the personal map/item screen we used to use Gameboys while everyone connected to one console/TV. That would have been the creative way to bring people together locally but instead they kinda botched that connectivity and tree it in our faces.
They also delayed the release to work on the game more but still overlooked the main thing we wanted - I’d personally be glad to have waited awhile longer if they’d give us local multiplayer
Honestly this doesn’t feel like a choice for how to play:
If I want to play locally with friends only one person gets the tv and the rest have to use mobile platforms (unless we want to/can fill a room with 4 TV’s and 4 switches). This feels like a disgrace towards Nintendo games that usually cater to those that want to play all on one tv together; this instead pushes towards playing with strangers or in isolated locations. I, personally, have zero interest in playing on my phone and everyone I do want to play with has a switch so cross play is meaningless to me.
iOS and Android inclusion could have been nice if you could use that as your “Gameboy” screen while having your switch docked playing local multiplayer but that is not the direction they went which I find very disappointing.
I’ll still get the game since I do plan on playing with some friends that moved away but overall I do not stand with their decision.
