Yes, you&#8217;ll need to get used to a drop in the frame rate to 40fps on Switch 2, but it&#8217;s a reasonable downgrade in order to get this type of game running as well as it does on a portable machine. It really is a very close match in all other ways to other consoles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/ssl\/nintendo-switch-2\/related-articles:186166 @ 1777705966 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p>Will you be checking out the next entry on Switch 2?
