I think you are referring to tabletop mode. Yes it can be played in tabletop mode and with two players in tabletop mode, and can be propped up on most flat surfaces via the kickstand on the back of the system. Both joycons can be used as either one controller or two controllers for co-op. Battery of the joycons varies, but most sources say 20 hours of continuous use, which is superfluous for most sessions. If that wasn't what you were asking, then I'll list off the other ways to play. There's handheld (where the joycons are firmly attached and you hold the switch like you would a handheld) and TV mode (where the switch unit sits in the dock and you play on the TV using the joycons wirelessly. Your joycons will be recharged upon connecting them to the Nintendo Switch System. You need third party accessories to charge the joycons without connecting them to the Nintendo Switch System. Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. I've played it docked and handheld. I think EVERY game is compatible in docked mode, though.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The whole game is playable in multiplayer in any configuration, be it two Joy cons, two pro controllers, etc. It doesn't need to be specifically docked or handheld to play.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can play anyway
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can dock the Switch and play while only holding the joycons or pro controller.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Absolutely! My daughter and I played through the entire game docked.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes the game can be played docked on multi player. With the joy cons or pro controller.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The game can be played docked, tabletop, and handheld mode. In docked mode, there is no need to attach the joycons to the console.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it is. You can play the entire game co-op with just one joycon per person (if you can handle playing with just one joycon, it's very uncomfortable ). I would recommend having at least one 8bitdo SN30 pro controller, as it helps the game quite a bit, but it is very possible to play with just one joycon. In other words, Yes, but it is uncomfortable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. You can play the game in it’s entirety in docked or handheld.
