Switch 2 BC: Which Games Will Run Better By Default?

It's not like ps4 to ps4 pro or ps4 to ps5, it will be None unless Nintendo or game developer patch it, especially when it been said that switch games don't run native on switch 2 they run through some kind of code switch 2 running, so we could see more hikups in games

the games will get a boost and they do run natively. it would be near impossible to properly emulate a Switch 1 game on that CPU.

the way the Nintendo engineers worded it in that interview points to the fact that they are recompiling the shaders of Switch 1 games, either on start-up or while playing (probably on start-up).
this is necessary because Nvidia probably doesn't have a Maxwell compatibility mode on their Ampere GPUs. the PS5 and Series X don't have to do that step because AMD did implement a GCN compatibility mode into their RDNA2 GPUs.

and the CPU code will have no issue just running as is, since both systems are ARM based. the only limitation here will be that these games will likely only use 3 threads since that's what they were designed to use on Switch 1.
however the better IPC and faster clock speeds will be helpful here
 
all the Warriors games on Switch probably need help... but that's generally true for all Warriors games on all systems... usually...

the Switch has,
Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires
Dynasty Warriors 8 Extreme Legends
Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires
Samurai Warriors 5
Fire Emblem Warriors
Touken Ranbu Warriors
Warriors Orochi 4
Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate
One Piece Pirate Warriors 3
One Piece Pirate Warriors 4

and while I didn't see perofmance numbers for all of these, it would be surprising, and uncharacteristic of Warriors titles, if any of these ran smoothly.
few runs fine if i recall right even few 2 runs better then aoc.
