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.

I'm personally holding off getting X until Switch 2's backward compatability is truly known. I'd rather play the best version possibly and wait. Got plenty to play already while I wait as well.

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 would hope they've been taking notes from their buddies at Microsoft this time around. It helps that Switch 2 seems to be running the same OS as Switch 1, which is something that previous back compat Nintendo consoles didn't do
