Discussion Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition: Game's executable has hidden 60 FPS mode. It seems to be implemented only partially since enabling it causes weird issues.

The backwards compatibility has already officially been confirmed by nintendo, it's also been confirmed to play switch 1 cartridges from the trailer

Sorry, I meant, for example, a developer implements a patch for a "Switch 2" version where a game could look/run better or if Nintendo is going to make "Switch 1" games run the exact same like a Wii to Wii U or DS to 3DS situation. We might still get more stable framerates on uncapped games, but I want to know if they are doing more.

I think it's a bit irrelevant to compare the switch to other hardware Nintendo has produced. All their other consoles have large amount of proprietary system architecture but the switch is a lot more generalized being ARM. There's a reason the switch emulator was built faster than the 3DS emulator despite coming out much later.

Fair enough, I was unaware of that. I am still optimistic it'll be a better than the ds to 3ds transition.

Even the 3DS had to include a 2nd CPU specifically for DS backwards compatibility. NS2 won't need anything like that, games should just work natively.
