    N3DS downclocks to O3DS speeds on any game not specifically tagged as N3DS-enhanced. Softmodding can enable full clock speeds though.

    It's kind of the point I was trying to make though. They could have unlocked CPU speed for O3DS games by default, and they chose not to. I assume they didn't because of all the games, there will always be the odd ones that behave unpredictably when they're running on unintended specs. So they went for 100% compatibility unless the game was specifically patched for N3DS.

    Even though this time it's software emulation, they could have played a bit safer by emulating exactly a Switch 1, including clock speed. Turns out Switch 2 seems to have very good compatibility, with only a couple problematic games they are working on, so in the end, good that they did it that way.

      Almost like they didn't remake the switch but instead copied it and added a bigger screen and faster memory/storage.

      There's a clear reason why they went after yuzu..I bet the 'swotch2' ROMs will work with minor tweaks.

      Regardless, hope people are enjoying their new toy. I won't be buying one at all but I hope people enjoy it.

          Protip: If you really don't want to watch the video, you can avoid embarassing yourself by not commenting.

              You cared enough to comment and try to spread misinformation.

                I think it’s because the market changed around them. When the 3DS launched they were one of the only companies providing decent BC. Now, everyone does it and people expect games to actually play better on the new devices.

                Still a surprise that Nintendo got the message, but with the dozen first party games that got free patches it was clear this was a new era for them. I’m playing Pokemon Violet right now after beating Scarlet a few years ago and it’s like a whole new game on Switch 2, all the performance issues are just gone.

                    Is it truly too much to ask you to just... not post misinformation? Is that so hard? Do you really have to act like this?

                      On weekends it's too much to ask, yes. Monday to Friday is perfectly ok. If we could reschedule this until Monday at the earliest, that would be greatly appreciated.
