The upgrade of Switch games to Switch 2

I tried some Switch games on Switch 2.

It's about seeing how much the games have improved in their Switch 2 version.

Megaman Legacy Collection Vol. 1 - No running issues....
It doesn't allow you to take photos in the Japanese intro sequence of Megaman x4... on Switch it does.

Catherine Full Body - Improves resolution, but runs at 30 fps. It's reminiscent of PS3 gameplay.

Fatal Frame Maiden of Black water - Improves resolution, but the frame rate is at 30 fps.

AI The Somnium Files Nirvana Initiative - Improves frame rate to 60 fps, but the resolution is pixelated like on Switch 1. It's not very enjoyable.

Ninja Gaiden Collection- The game looks stable at 60 fps and they have slightly improved the blurriness and pixels of the game, it resembles a PS3 version.

Dead Or alive xtreme 3 paradise.... No improvement, it is at 30 fps, slight improvement in pixel resolution

el shaddai ascension of the metatron_ Miraculous and radical change, on Switch it ran horribly with 25 fps or less... on Switch 2 the resolution improves and it is at a stable 60 fps, now it is worth playing

Luigi Mansion 3. Slightly improves resolution, but not FPS
 
From what I've gathered/seen any game that uses an unlocked resolution and/or framerate on Switch (1) will run at max.

If any or both are locked, the game will need a Switch 2 patch.
 
From DF's recent vid on the subject:

Links Awakening/Echoes of Wisdom: Now a locked 60fps at 1620p docked/1080p portable. (Was around 720p docked and 576p portable with unstable fps on Switch 1)

Mario Odyssey: Now dynamic 1800p when docked/1080p portable. (Was dynamic 900p docked and 720x640 when portable on Switch 1)

Mario 3D World: Dynamic 1800p docked/1080p portable. (Was 1080p docked/720p portable on Switch 1)

Bowser's Fury: Dynamic 1800p docked/1080p portable at 60fps. (Was around 720p/60fps docked and 720p/30fps portable on Switch 1)

Splatoon 3: Dynamic 4K docked/1080p portable, city hub is now 60fps. (Was dynamic 1080p docked/Dynamic 720p portable on Switch 1, city hub was 30fps)

Captain Toad: 1440p docked with additional anti-aliasing/1080p portable. (Was 1080p docked/720p portable with no AA on Switch 1)

New Super Mario Bros U: 4K docked/1080p portable. (Was 1080p docked/720p portable on Switch 1)
 
The idea of the OP is to gather information and experience with games. We may have chosen the PlayStation version, but with the improvements in Switch 2, we may now have better alternatives.

Some have improved, others barely
