New rumors suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 will have an improved performance while docked, but perhaps not so much in handheld mode.

The frame rate for the upcoming Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is 30 FPS. This modern rendition of Intelligent Systems' beloved 2004 RPG is set to be released on May 23.
Previews of the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake recently went live, providing people with the opportunity to closely check out the game's many visual upgrades. While the remake retains the unique art style gamers first encountered in the 2004 original, it has received updated high-definition assets and improved lighting, further enhancing the classic's already charming paper craft presentation. However, Intelligent Systems, the veteran Japanese studio that also worked on the GameCube original, seemingly had to make one big concession to accommodate the visual uplifts of the remake.
According to a report by Nintendo Life, the preview of the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake ran at 30 FPS, compared to the GameCube version's 60. Fortunately, there were no other reported downgrades with the game, which ran perfectly and exhibited zero frame drops whether played in docked mode or not. In addition to having better visuals, the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake has an updated soundtrack, as well as several new characters and gameplay features. It also received a number of tweaks and quality-of-life improvements that many players, especially those who played the original game, will most likely welcome with open arms.
There are many Nintendo Switch games that run at 60 FPS and 1080p, such as Super Mario Odyssey and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Demanding titles like the ports of CD Projekt Red's critically acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and the popular ARK: Survival Evolved, however, have struggled to provide Switch players with ideal gameplay experiences.
The latest OLED-equipped version of the Switch, which is one of the best-selling consoles of all time, is still powered by the same Nvidia Tegra X1 system-on-chip that the original model shipped with when it launched in 2017. While capable, the Tegra X1 features a graphics processing unit based on the Maxwell architecture that has already been superseded by several newer generations.
Even though the game has not launched, the physical edition of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake has already sold out on Amazon. The retail giant was even forced to cancel pre-orders for the upcoming Switch exclusive due to inventory issues. Aside from the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake, Amazon was also forced to cancel pre-orders for Endless Ocean Luminous and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, which are slated to launch on May 2 and June 27, respectively.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Hands-On Impressions – Recycled Materials
Nintendo and its fans usually get a long pretty well, with the Paper Mario franchise being an unusual bone of contention. For many years Nintendo has stubbornly attempted to dial down the quirky stories, unique characters, and RPG elements that defined early entries in the series, much to the chagrin of a particular cadre of fans. As perhaps the last true RPG in the series, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has taken on a certain symbolic importance to those spurned fans even though it was never a particularly big hit, selling fewer than 2 million copies on Gamecube.
