I can at least say, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Paper Mario TTYD and Astral Chain look great and run at a locked 30fps without frame timing issues on Switch 2. Obviously updates are preferred but, at least they're all 720p in handheld and 1080p docked, unlike many other NS1 games.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is the best 2D metroidvania I've ever played. But ya, I think if you give Fire Emblem a chance you'll "get it" like I did. Could even just play 1 map per day. They go super fast in the beginning. Don't think they really become full maps until 5 or 6 chapters in, so they're quick 10-15 minute affairs.

One thing to note though. Until Chapter 8 you don't have access to Convoy to store extra weapons, and each character can only hold 4 weapons. So you want to trade weapons and have other characters hold some (even if they cant use them, like a healer holding 2 extra iron swords since they only have 1 healing staff to hold early on anyways), to ensure each character only has 3 weapons at any given time. This is because sometimes defeating special enemies or opening chests gives you a weapon drop, and if they're full you'll have to discard one. So any character with 4, trade one off to another character to hold to ensure they have an open slot at all times.

Once you get Convoy though you can deposit extras there, access the Shop to buy new ones, forge weapons with special stats. I prefer forging Iron weapons because they're cheap, have goot Hit rates, they have higher uses before breaking, and I just max the Attack Stat (Mt = Might) and min the Weight Stat (Wt = Weight).

Why minimize weight? Well, any character whose Attack Speed (Speed + Constitution - Weapon Weight) is 4 or higher than the enemy's, they attack twice. So the lower the weight, the greater the chance they'll double attack the enemy, or in other words, the more enemies they'll double. So Steel Weapons have higher Might (Mt) but weigh a lot more, meaning you're unlikely to double with one. But they're still good to have because enemies can counter attack after your first, before you double with the 2nd. And perhaps you can kill them in one shot with a Steel weapon and thus not take damage in return. Hence why you want a mix of weapons.
