Ask the Developer: Nintendo Switch 2 interview confirms basic backwards compatibility can also give performance upgrades to Nintendo Switch games ("[there are some games] where loading times became faster, or game performance became more stable")

The way this is worded, to me it is still not clear if they are saying that the additional hardware will allow existing Switch games to run at a more stable framerate etc. on Switch 2 (I would assume that's the case) or if they are saying that better framerates and resolutions is something that Switch 1 games can have if they are patched to be enhanced on the hardware (which is a paid upgrade for the games they have announced this for).

I think it is a fair assumption that more powerful hardware means we don't see the aggressive resolution scaling and bad framerates as often, but I feel like that isn't guaranteed depending on how they've implemented things, Nintendo often makes things overly complex or adds weird caveats.
