The feature, which is buried at the bottom of Nintendo's patch notes, allows for boosted Switch 1 games when playing in handheld, with performance akin to playing with the console docked.

Good thing they made it an option since it disables touch screen and might create weird compatibilty issues.

Not clear in the article but the part about joy-con 2 not being recognized as joy-con is only for attached joy-con (so they can still be used as independent joy-con in tabletop). That doesn't seem like a huge problem, unless I am missing a very specific use case. Not sure what attached joy-con can do that a classic controller can't.

I think it's more of a heads up, since you can't use attached JoyCon in TV mode (for obvious reasons), so they will show up as Pro controller.

Yeah probably. I get why it would be simpler to do it like that but I was wondering if there were actual drawbacks to this, since it was listed along the disabled touch screen.
