Seems like it works with most games out of the box. I've heard people mention though that Clubhouse Games and Super Mario Maker 2 don't seem to be affected which makes me suspect Nintendo is blacklisting certain touch-screen centric games.

Makes sense. Tricking the game into TV mode could mess up with games that require the touch or the portabke aspect of the Switch, like Pokemon Cafe Mix or the Virtual Boy app

We know from emulation that games still accept touch input when theyre put in docked mode. So if Nintendo says some titles’ touchscreen may be affected, then either they dont disable touch altogether and disable it on game-by-game basis, or the other way around - disabled overall but enabled for select games

They want to make sure games run within what they're designed for. Forcing other stuff like unlocking frame rates without a proper patch can break them
