The Joycons' entire purpose of existence is so that we can play everything with out arms leisurely stretched out.
The first thing I did when I got my Switch and Mario Odyssey was detach the Joycons and let my arms hang limply to my sides while playing. It felt so lazy and good and worked just fine. I never got the complaints about motion controls either.
I've used the dock "controller" thing once and sometimes use the switch in handheld mode with the Joycons attached. Both are fine, but I honestly prefer playing with them separate a good 90+% of the time.
Back to the topic: This game seems pretty rad. Seems great for short bursts of play.
Said it in another thread but I'll say it again, the position in which we normally type or hold controllers is very unnatural for our shoulders and causes posture problems people need to spend time correcting at the gym. Other brands really need to get with the program and introduce their take on the Joycons because I really don't see myself going back to a dualshock after this.
I'm still fine with controllers, but the Joycons are extremely good while detached. They rival my Xbox Elite controller. And as I said, the motion controls seemed fine for Mario. Hell it became a subconscious act to do the auto-targetting shake motion because it was so easy. Curious if that's another detached thing too? I need to try out Zelda with them detached sometime, I've only played that in regular handheld mode so far (just got it for Switch, only bit into it, but I beat the WiiU version).
I had some problems with the motion control on the Switch. The apparatus kind puzzles require some impossible wrist twists, and manipulating objects with magnesis is completely counter-intuitive in motion control mode.
