Nintendo confirms - No VRR for Switch 2 in TV mode

Nvzman said:
When the hell has Nintendo EVER been pro-consumer? The fuck are you smoking? This is the same company that refused to move over the CDs/DVDs even when the rest of the industry did and their N64 cartridge games would cost like double what PS1s CD games were.

They've always been huffing their own supply.

I feel like they were a little bit pro-consumer in the wii era with free online. It wasn't great but it was free. But ya they've been greedy for a longggggg time lmaooo.

Didn't help FFXVI.

Actually, people have told me the great PS5 didn't have VRR on FFXVI, and still people bought it up in droves, even without VRR support.

Would not surprise me the least if GTA6 also did not get VRR support either, due to being 30fps.

Hopefully GTA 6 gets it and i feel like it will because Rockstar are pretty good when it comes to that stuff.

His argument is that nintendo shouldn't do anything pro-comsumer or anything that benefits gamers because some people might not care. He has no ground to stand on and yet he continues to post triggered reactions and laughing reactions at everyone in this thread for calling nintendo out. It's clown crap truthfully.

that's why the Switch sold 150mn+ units. Because they don't do anything pro comsumer.

Wow that's pretty shitty.

They probably removed support so they can keep that as a value add for the OLED model down the line.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is true that is why I have zero interest in buying this console until the OLED model.

$450 for no OLED plus just to play Mario kart and $80 games ... i'm good for now lol.
 
Unless you play Mario Party or Mario Kart, using this console in docked mode really serves no purpose at this point when you can get a PS5 or Series console and have a vastly superior experience. Even for third parties, just buy a Portal or slap a Kishi on your phone and games will look better.

Don't you need a special tv for this anyway? Does that even effect handheld?

My tv is from 2014 and is 1080p , not a concern. They really should be making games to play good without dedicated TV tricks that only wealthy people have access to. (no idea if vrr is on affordable sets, but I know I am not getting rid of a working tv with tons of imput for retro consoles for 4k, not worth it).

VRR looks like shit on an OLED, so it's no loss for me.

I'm wondering how the performance modes are going to look in docked mode since some are just targeting 40fps. Like Cyberpunk for example with 30fps Quality and 40fps Performance confirmed, is that shit just going to be choppy on a TV or would that rule it out on 60fps TVs?

Price was already horrible. Never used the switch in handheld mode with the kids so now that's even more ridiculous. Hard pass

I'm actually kinda encouraged by this thread.

I half expected Nintendo fanboys to tell us that actually VRR kinda sucks and we're wrong for wanting it, and anyway VRR TVs are too expensive and not mainstream yet.

Instead you are getting Nintendo fanboys trying to justify it because PS5 didn't have it when it launched 5 years ago + the standard GigaBowser nonsense.

There really is no excuse for the Switch 2 launching without it, and now it makes sense why people are complaining about low/inconsistent frame rates in docked mode.

Prime 4 should look amazing on Series X…
 
Preorder cancelled. I want my 2020 tech to actually use 2020 tech in 2025.

Seriously though, this is pathetic. It has the capability but they chose a cheap HDMI out chip to save a few cents. I mean FFS no hall effect on a 90 fucking dollar controller, 80 dollar game cards with no game on them. They are so cheap I hope they fucked up and get hacked or easily emulated just so they can be as pissed off about something as gamers are with their pettiness.

I don't care about portable gaming and have a PC attached to the same TV I have the Switch attached to.

Some just don't care about PS enough to prefer PS5 plus Portal over anything else lol
 
I don't mind TBH, I mean I agree it should have compatibility, but it's not a deal breaker for me, HDR, 4K and 120hz are much more important.

VRR wouldn't help tho, Gsync or Freesync Premium for that buddy, I hope Nintendo used any of those in compatible TVs despite VRR being present

Like I said if you feel this is being discussed in wider circles then I feel sorry for you. Like I have stated I am not defending anything. I am simply stating outside of niche internet forums nobody cares. This for some reason seems to trigger some on here.

And I have to stay out of technical discussions because I say things you do not like. Sounds very reasonable lol.

We got a live one here boys !

Listen guy, I tried to play nice at first but, like others in here, you seem to have absolutely zero self awareness.

" I am not defending anything" - immediately proceeds to defend something which is indefensible with the excuse "lol you nerds in your forum bubble/no one else gives a fook lol" and the always petty, passive-aggressive and holier than thou "lol I feel sorry for you" shite - amazing rebuttal skills my man, thing is, you're contradicting yourself since by posting/participating in this discussion, you also belong in said "bubble", can't have it both ways.

You've been spouting the same dismissive and snarky shite for 4-5 posts now, now, if you don't get it, you can either exit the Convo or, stop trying to gaslight us all.

Get a load of this guy with his snarky and petty shit, besides , "those who live in glass houses..." you know the rest.

Now go put some laughing reaction emojis, I'm sure it'll make you feel better.

This is the Copium the Switch 2 fans are starting to taste. As details continue on it gets worse and worse.

Name some things that nintendo did that were pro-consumer for the switch exactly?

Lol, the most pro consumer thing in the video game industry is the game pass and is considered here the evil… 😂😂 The most pro consumer thing about Nintendo is their games, and that all i need about and CORPORATION that makes games..

You are in total denial. Not surprising however there are loads of people on niche videogaming sites that think everybody should think and feel the way they do. It must come a quite a shock to find out they are actually in the minority.

I'm not a "switch 2 fan", in fact I'm not even sure I'll buy it at launch, I'll buy it at some point for the exclusives though. I just don't care about VRR, I never use it even on PC because it causes flickering and also I prefer a stable framerate, but whatever....

Again, amazing rebuttal skills (and zero self awareness).

Cheers guy
 
What a bad and pathetic decision to not have it in docked mode. They are such a cheap company in many ways. It's frustrating.

Right, you came into a discussion about Nintendo dropping one of their claims about Switch 2's capabilities to point out "nobody cares", but you weren't defending Nintendo. I guess you just wanted to be a douche and remind us all we're gamer nerds? Thanks for the valuable contribution.

You don't get it man, people® don't care, it's not like it's Nintendo's fault for being cheapskates once again.

Also : you're a nerd®

Nintendo Says the Switch 2 Will Only Support VRR In Handheld Mode - IGN

Back at the start of April, Nintendo Switch 2 fans noticed mention of variable refresh rate, or VRR, on informational pages about the system that soon disappeared. Now, the company is clarifying just how and where VRR is working on the Nintendo Switch 2.

They all appeal to core obsessives who are in the minority. Nothing wrong with that I visit some of these sites too. But it does still not change reality.
