If the trailer is anything to go by, the game will be 60fps, which is always nice and not something often seen in non-indie Switch games not developed by Nintendo.

In a game about lining up shots, the extra smoothness should make it feel a lot better than it would at 30.

That seems like really ... really oddly specific criteria  

Also Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Yoshi's Crafted World and Super Smash Brothers Ultimate are all 60fps (or have performance modes that target it), use Nintendo IPs, and are not developed by Nintendo. I know some of those are Wii U games but, it's actually not too uncommon for non-inhouse exclusives to reach 60fps. 

Well, technically Tropical Freeze is in-house as Retro are a first party Nintendo dev. :p

60fps isn't unheard of in externally developed Switch games, but given its hardware spec relative to the competition a lot of devs find it easier to target 30, so it's nice to see Bandai Namco go the extra mile, especially its the kind of game where they could've gotten away with 30 and nobody would've complained.
