I was thinking about the PS5 Pro and the games that benefit the most from purchasing a pro...

With that being said, what are some good Switch games that got rated poorly because of low FPS that will definitely benefit from the Switch 2's more than likely 40% performance increase..

 

[Zacfoldor]

Zelda 1 and 2, of the wild. Link's Awakening. Zelda's Awakening.

These games need a boost mode and will absolutely tremendously benefit hugely from one and will be even better than they are now.

 

[LordOcidax]

Every game on every platform is going to benefit from a more powerful hardware…

 

[Fbh]

Hyrule Warriors 2 for sure.
In terms of design, structure and presentation I thought it was one of the better musous I've played. But it ran like absolute shit, it wasn't a 30fps game with dips, it was basically a 25fps game with drops, that would occasionally go up to 30.

 

[nial]

Won't they have to get patched first for that to happen? Now you wish that the Switch Pro was actually a thing; PS4 Pro was a key reason as to why PS5 BC ended up being so much better compared to base PS4.
Edit: If we're talking about unstable 30fps being stable now, yeah that might indeed happen.

 

[That Damn Kid]

I'm keeping my Bayonetta 3 sealed until I get a Switch 2

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Xenoblade Chronicles 2

And all the other Xenoblade Chronicles games

Can't wait to replay all those games on Switch 2

 

[Mr Reasonable]

TOTK has dynamic resolution, I believe.

 

[Danjin44]

Astral Chain will definitely benefit from higher FPS.

 

[cireza]

None, because BC will be poop.

 

[Pandawan]

Deadly Premonition 2! xD

 

[Kiya's Guard]

All of them. /thread

 

[Exede]

A lot.... lot of games will benefit from Switch 2.

 

[existensmaximum]

Are you assuming these games will automatically run better on the Switch 2? That has never happened before with Nintendo BC

 

[Magic Carpet]

Would loading speeds increase a tiny bit?

 

[RoboFu]

Hyrule warriors! Awesome game but can chug at times.

 

[Scrawnton]

All of them. And I say this as a huge Nintendo fanboy. Even the games that are 60fps (like Mario Galaxy) use DRS that can be cleaned up with better hardware.

 

[deriks]

 

[Mister Wolf]

Xenoblade 1 - 3 and TOTK. They all need bumps in resolution and performance as they are the most ambitious first party titles on the Switch.

 

[Robb]

I’m hoping “Switch 2” irons out the framerate dips in the 2D Zelda titles and Bayonetta 3. If that’s the case I’ll replay them when I get it.

But I’d imagine every game will benefit in some way.

 

[Bernardougf]

All?

 

[V1LÆM]

TOTK really needs a boost in performance.

Shin Megami Tensei V had poor fps but I don’t know if Vengeance runs any better?

 

[Azelover]

Zelda 1 and 2, of the wild. Link's Awakening. Zelda's Awakening.

These games need a boost mode and will absolutely tremendously benefit hugely from one and will be even better than they are now.

I think they're probably gonna rerelease them. Making it run automatically better or patching is really unNintendo..

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

TOTK really needs a boost in performance.

That's the reason why I got SMTVV on Steam. I played the OG on Switch docked and even it had performance issues

 

[Kataploom]

Most Nintendo games have solid performance, those that are infamously known for having bad performance mostly don't either, like Zelda games only having bad performance when there are too many particles out objects with physics or using one of the skills that fill the screen with effect like the ultra hand. The only way I see them greatly benefitted by more power is if they ran at 60 fps even if it's just frame generation or if they're automatically upscaled with DLSS or something.

Some 60 fps games have unstable performance tho like Bayo 3 or SM3DW Bowser's Fury chapter, or the 2 Zeldas, those are games I'm saving for getting in the future in a newer console.

 

[Wastelander92]

Bayonetta 3. Shit chugs on Switch 1

 

[Mister Wolf]

Bayonetta 3. Shit chugs on Switch 1

The resolution is so blurry a can barely tell what's going on.

 

[JCK75]

Honestly, just getting an improved version of fortnite to switch gamers will be a huge win.. so many of my sons friends play it on switch and it performs like garbage

 

[Dorfdad]

This will only happen if they have some kind of boost mode as well. Just because the system is more powerful I really don't expect Nintendo to offer a solution especially for free to improve those games. They are the kings of re-releases and would want to charge you 59.99 again for a spec bump. Hope Im wrong however.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Astral Chain could use a resolution and performance boost.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Switch 2 will stop weapons breaking

 

[Celcius]

I want to see how DOAXBV3 runs and looks on Switch 2

 

[kevboard]

Astral Chain will definitely benefit from higher FPS.

that would need a patch tho, as it is locked to 30fps.

 

[Danjin44]

I think you are right, it doesn’t have unlocked frame rate.

 

[Poppyseed]

Zelda 1 and 2, of the wild. Link's Awakening. Zelda's Awakening.

These games need a boost mode and will absolutely tremendously benefit hugely from one and will be even better than they are now.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I swear that hits 320p late in the game.

 

[Quasicat]

Animal Crossing could use it for the faster loading times. It takes forever for the initial load.

 

[Power Pro]

There isn't really a guarantee that Switch 2 will provide benefits to Switch games. Sure, it'd be nice, but it's Nintendo...they could make it so that in order to keep the purity of Switch games, there will be no "boost" mode or anything...I dunno. Just don't wanna get my hopes up.

 

[existensmaximum]

Would loading speeds increase a tiny bit?

I mean, let's hope so? But I'm absolutely not expecting any improvements whatsoever.

 

[Chukhopops]

I think it can be a game changer if Bayonetta 3 and Astral Chain get patches bringing them at 60 fps with a decent resolution. Despite technical limitations they are unrivaled in their genre. Same for Hyrule Warriors (best Musou).

Raincode is another great game that looks like shit on Switch.

Then there are a bazillion ports: Atelier Ryza 3, Ys IX, Outer Worlds etc.

 

[Salmonboy]

Balatro

 

[Cyberpunkd]

The Skywalker Saga. That thing regularly drops FPS to probably mid-20s.

 

[cireza]

Nintendo are definitely going to have BC that is not an exact 100% replica in terms of behavior for some FPS gains (that 99% of Nintendo players don't care about), because of course Nintendo are going to validate that every single Switch game still runs on Switch 2.

Keep your expectations in check.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Yes.

 

[Esppiral]

Let's see how their BC works first before assuming we will see any improvement.

 

[Xyphie]

It should be fairly trivial for them to make most games play with the OG Switch docked preset while in handheld mode. The exception being games that use the touch screen etc.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Bayonetta 3 perf is all over the place so that one should benefit greatly from the Switch 2.

Also, there's a couple of 3rd party games like AI Somnium Files with unlocked fps which drop from 60 all the way down to 30 so these will benefit as well.
