There are a number of 30fps first party titles on Switch 1, but most target 60; Mario Odyssey, Mario Bros Wonder, Splatoon 2/3, Mario Kart 8, ARMS, Switch Sports, Tropical Freeze, all three Mario Party titles, Mario Strikers Battle League, Yoshi's Crafted World, Metroid Dread, Metroid Prime Remastered, Metroid Prime 4, Mario vs Donkey Kong, Mario Golf Super Rush, Ring Fit Adventure, Super Mario Maker 2, Mario Tennis Aces, Pokken Tournament DX, Clubhouse games, the Warioware games, 1-2 Switch, LABO, the Famicom Detective games, etc.

Smash Ultimate and Mario RPG are 60 as well, a game having rare dips doesn't make it not a 60fps game when it holds its target the vast majority of the time; most 60fps have some dips.

Smash Ultimate drops to 40fps. - Should have been a 30fps game, locked.

Just wanna chime in here to say that this is an insane thing to say about a fighting game. A game like that at 30fps would be terrible to play competitively. Even disregarding that part they literally say in the video that the 60fps target is just about perfect aside from one specific scenario so I find the notion that cutting the frame rate in half is preferable to hitting 60fps over 99% of the time truly mind boggling. It's like saying someone should chop off their feet to avoid stubbing their toes.
