Yep. That was always the big fear with these half gen consoles. Getting New 3DS'ed.
I hope Microsofts standards don't allow such half assed efforts, but I 0% trust either Sony or Microsofts certification process to reject poor performing back-ports.
Only one game - one - was designed from the top-down to favour N3DS (Hyrule Warriors Legends). The list of "enhanced" games is slim as Nintendo doesn't mandate N3DS support.
The difference between N3DS and Pro lies with how Sony mandated PS4 Pro support for games released after September 2016. Because of the number of games that actually get tangible improves on PS4 Pro, you're far more likely to feel like you're getting an inferior experience. Moreso given more PS4 games don't perform acceptably without Pro. Personally I'm fine with my PS4, but I feel much more impacted by the existence of the Pro than I did the New 3DS when it was revealed, as the PS4 Pro's *sole* improvement was power.
In my experience with the N3DS, enhanced versions take the games from "fine" to "great" (excluding Hyrule Warriors), whereas the nature of AAA games dev and the technical ambitions of the games means that PS4 Pro takes some games from being "wonky" to "fine".
