I watched a digital foundry video on Bayonetta 2 a few days ago. Apparently (if I remember correctly) it's going to be 720p on the Switch and the framerate, while better than the Wii U version, is still all over the place.

They said Bayonetta 1 would likely be the same...

Bayonetta 2's frame rate on Switch is 10-20fps faster docked. Wii U dipped into the high 30s. Switch bottoms out at 50fps. Undocked is about 10fps faster. IIRC, they speculated that Bayonetta 1 should be locked at 60fps based on Bayonetta 2's performance gains.

I was quite surprised by this. I'm no fan of Bayonetta not my sort of game but if you asked me before hand what I would have expected of the port, I would have expected pretty much locked 60fps performance while portable and maybe a 900p boost when docked with maybe the occasional frame rate drop 55-60 area. It seems such an utterly marginal improvement. The game itself seems to have identical graphic assets and resolution. The game chucks a lot of graphic data about at high speeds maybe memory bandwidth is the issue. It could be patched later to improve it but for the moment not very impressive at all.
