We do have to caution that these listings should be taken with a grain of salt at this point. They may very well be correct, but similar listings have had their dates shuffled days before launch or at the last minute, resulting in unexpected delays.

You can see Link interacting with villagers in his new Tingle outfit below. Have to admit that it gave me a good chuckle.

There is a lack of anti-aliasing still, but Switch features improved texture filtering. Pokken Tournament DX also appears to run more consistently at 60 frames per second.
Here’s the full analysis from Digital Foundry:
