If you'd rather play with more traditional controls, you're certainly welcome to do that.
All 12 games are getting different upgrades. Some get full visual and frame rate enhancements, while others get GameShare support only.
hmm... those improvements for the zelda games is kinda weak. I was expecting improved frame rate, or at the very least more stable. Sad there is nothing for Paper Mario, that one could use a 60fps mode like the original GC version.
Both Zelda games both run at 1440p and 60fps now. On the switch they both play at 30fps.
The main issue will be if they don’t remove the double buffer vsync in them.
Yes, they are technically already 60fps capped, but that vsync setup means even a single dropped frame below 60 sends it to 30fps.
Now if they are also increasing the resolution and visuals in the game, unless there is a pretty significant overhead, which is still likely but not fully understood due to the unknowns of the “emulation” setup, if the 1% lows in the game still drop it every now and then anywhere below 60, they will still end up having massive stuttering drops from 60 to 30fps.
The two Zeldas - EoW and LA - already run with a 60fps cap. I would hope they're not mentioning improved frame rate because it's just assumed that the Switch 2 will smooth out the drops.
Whereas the specific callouts for Bowser's Fury and Pokémon indicate a raise from 30fps to 60fps.
So... They're not gonna do anything with that Xenoblade Chronicles X 60fps mode, huh?
12 is a bit weak. The whole switch library is in need of a boost. Exclusives like the Xenoblades and Astral Chain would be great to see get a free update. Initially surprised Mario Wonder wasn't on the list, but I imagine they have a paid upgrade planned for that one.
There are plenty of fighting games to rumble in with a Nintendo Switch.

Who on earth would want to play this game with normal controls? Unless you're in public on the go or something.
Joycon motion all the way
