Nintendo Switch 2 Ports Highlight Performance Gaps and New Fight Game Release

Capcom’s port of Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition demonstrates that the Nintendo Switch 2 does not support variable refresh rate (VRR) when docked, despite delivering high frame rates up to 120 FPS in handheld mode. The game runs smoothly on the console, matching or exceeding the PlayStation 4 version in image quality, but the lack of docked VRR leaves TV players at a disadvantage.

Bandai Namco’s Arcade Archives release brings the original Tekken arcade game to the Switch 2, marking the franchise’s first appearance on a Nintendo system since Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on the Wii U. The port offers VRR support but limits multiplayer to local play only, with no online mode. It launches on June 25 for $17 on Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Both releases illustrate how third‑party developers are testing the Switch 2’s hardware limits while also exposing its current shortcomings, such as the missing docked VRR feature.
