Super Mario Party's gameplay makes it most suited for TV mode, yet does not allow people to use the pro-controller or both joycons. because of this dumb restriction, you CANT play the game in handheld mode. thats the problem, the controls make no sense.

Why would you want to play it in handheld mode? This is a game meant to be played with a group of friends at home or a coffee shop. It makes no sense to support a mode most people wont use for this type of game.

Because somebody wants to use a Pro controller for this game, it follows that they're thinking about the Switch to narrowly? That doesn't make sense to me.

In any case, people can, will, and should complain anytime a company does something that they don't like. That's how they learn what their customers want.

Yes, but only if its a unanimously agreed complaint. Not a nitpick from a vocal minority. Companies care about majority consensus, and majority consensus states there isn't much of a problem with no Pro Controller support in Super Mario Party. People on internet forums forget how much of a bubble they can live in compared to the actual gaming market. 

Most of the game, including unlocking the hidden characters, requires game modes that favor single player play. There's about 7 or 8 game modes, only one of which is traditional mario party. Sure, you could get a friend or two to do them with you, but it's certainly not necessary. So I'm having a Mario party party in a  few weeks. I want to unlock all the characters before the party, and my wife couldn't care less about video games which leaves me playing by my lonesome most of the time. Before now I did most of my Switch playing in handheld mode, often times in bed before I went to sleep. I can't do that with Mario party. Ohh no. Now I'm forced to use tabletop mode (which is frankly terrible) or tv mode, and using individual joycons for no good reason. It sucks, and it's annoying because its completely unnecessary.
