Different settings for docked / portable Switch modes spotted in Unreal Engine 4

I honestly doubt it's really that complicated. It's just really poor OS design. When you undock the Switch, Nintendo OS should pop up a UI by default letting you know the Switch was disconnected and prompting you to resume. Nothing else makes sense. There's literally no practical reason anyone would want the game to continue running when you won't be playing the game while you're undocking.

In the concept video the player is standing in the middle of a field in Zelda, grass keeps waving while he takes the switch out of the dock, seamless. But perhaps that was just for dramatic effect... It seems best to pause it, yet that leads to easy abuse in online games. Those might not have different assets anyway, equal playing field between docked and undocked. I guess we'll see a whole range of different takes on the actual switch behaviour.

No, I know. I just think it would be incredibly stupid it terms of practicality.

If you undock during an online game, it should be the same as pressing the home button. Shouldn't be anymore abusable than that.
