You are reaching bud.  For one, you have to buy an extra 3rd party device.  By that logic the PS4 is portable due to remote play.

 

But lets just give credit to table top mode here...you are still not using it as a portable.  The device is stationary and cannot be used on the go.  It is no different than bringing your PS4 and X1 with you and plugging it into a small TV.  The only difference is that the Switch makes it easier.

 

So no, you cannot play Super Mario Party in handheld mode.  However there are no handheld games that cannot be played docked.  This is because the Switch is a home console designed as a hybrid to allow you to take most games with you on the go.

Big different, i'm asking about dock and undock, this is not docked mode. "By that logic the PS4 is portable due to remote play." Except you need to bring a ps4 and hoping for charge socket as well as wifi to play anywhere, not every place in this world have strong wifi. 

"But lets just give credit to table top mode here...you are still not using it as a portable.  The device is stationary and cannot be used on the go.  It is no different than bringing your PS4 and X1 with you and plugging it into a small TV" Table top mode isn't TV mode (or docked mode). "The device is stationary and cannot be used on the go" It is very light and easy to bring with you but not ps4/xbox 1. They are already big, now you need a HD TV (even a small one) as well as hoping for two charge sockets, that is a league different compare to the Switch.

"So no, you cannot play Super Mario Party in handheld mode", but with this thing, i still can play it undocked. However there are no handheld games that cannot be played docked. Are you sure?

You called the Switch a handheld, and therefore you are talking about handheld mode.  If you are using table top mode, it is no different than playing on a TV with a small screen.  You cannot pick it up and take it with you while you play, it is still stationary.  Mario Party cannot be played in handheld mode, that is my point.

 

In fact, let it also be pointed out that Super Mario Party is and has always been a console game.  By your own logic, that makes Switch a home console.
