All the paid upgrades seemed to have additional exclusive content, so hopefully there'll be a lot of these when it's a simple switch to a native version without any bonuses.

Games that are already 60fps should straight up just get uncapped framerates.
Let the enhanced grunt of Switch 2 and VRR take the wheel.

That's better.
Hopefully more join that list, TTYD especially.
EDIT and honestly, I would much prefer if Kirby and the Forgotten Land just got bumped to 60 without the extra shit.

gotta love how botw/totk aren't in there, so you're forced to buy the update instead of getting free 60fps.

Yeah, I'll assume a performance patch will come.
does anyone know - did nintendo explicitly claim that "all" switch games will work on switch 2 regardless of patches or updates? i assume it'll be like microsoft's handling of BC titles - that even if they're not patched, they should still launch, even if bugs or weird behavior may be present.
I'm hoping that games in general should see a performance boost regardless.
Probably too much to hope for from Nintendo, honestly.
On a similar note, I'm a little worried how the transfer between switch and switch 2 will be.
will it reset my switch and lock me out of digital purchases and saves if I migrate to switch 2?
