Ring Fit Adventure cannot be played in tabletop or handheld mode (UPDATE)

UPDATE - We have reason to believe the information on Nintendo.com is incorrect. We are reaching out for an official statement on the matter. You can read the original story below.

Here's a little warning to those who plan on picking up Ring Fit Adventure. According to the Nintendo.com page, the game will not work in handheld or tabletop mode. Handheld being left out is pretty obvious, but tabletop mode getting the shaft might be surprising to some people. I'm sure some people envisioned sitting at their desk at work and using the Switch in tabletop mode to get in a bit of exercise, but I guess that's not going to be the case. At least there's Multitask Mode, which lets you rack up exercise points through the Ring-Con + Joy-Con alone.
