Forums - Nintendo Discussion - You can now record video on Nintendo Switch

Ultravolt on 18 October 2017

Update your Switches! This is perfect for highlighting important moments, and it doesn't interrupt gameplay!

Here's a vid describing the new feature:

Edit: Turns out this feature is only compatible with 4 games at the moment. Those being Zelda, Mario Kart 8, Arms, and Splatoon 2.

Wait what?They can update a system like that?

Now they need to make it possible to stream. Baby steps I suppose.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Yeah, it would be cool to have streaming capabilities! It only allows you to record up to 30 seconds, which isn't a whole lot. Still better than not having the feature at all though, and it's definitely useful for gaming highlights and such.

Twitter will be full of Odyssey videos next Friday.

Yeah 30 seconds does sound like a little bit. However this is mostly for Twitter and FB so it makes sense.

Also I want to add that this feature only works with 4 games so far. Splatoon 2, Mario Kart, Arms and Zelda.

Kind of a bummer that's only 30 seconds, but nice feature nonetheless.

Weird that Nintendo didnt simply announce this back on the direct.Well, nice nonetheless!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
