"To capture video, hold down the Capture Button during gameplay
Up to maximum of the previous 30 seconds will be saved in the Album. You can trim the beginning and end of each clip, and post to Facebook and Twitter.
As of October 18th, 2017, this feature is compatible with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, ARMS, and Splatoon 2"

More details here. So yeah, only 4 games support video capture, but it's a start.

 

[Chie Satonaka91]

Video capture huh? Awesome, also yay for new icons.

 

[wanders]

Nice NICE

whoa nice

 

[Nights Owl]

Wow. Video Capture already?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Miiverse died for this.

 

[Alrus]

So we can finally transfer save datas? Isn't this a relatively big deal? (as in it was a heavily requested feature).

I also don't really understand the point of online stores pre-purchase?

 

[Skittzo0413]

Oh hell yes, that came out of nowhere. About time they allowed save transfers.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Pre purchase, yes!!!!

And how does the video recording work??

They have to specify what they mean by some titles

And recording video is only useful if we can post them. Hopefully we can.

 

[Currygan]

"gotta save that mom...fucckkkk missed it"
That's me

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Nintendo sure is liberal with major rev numbers for so little functionality.

 

[Jake2by4]

Transfer saves!?!?! For real?

 

[bounchfx]

Nice

 

[phanphare]

oh hell yeah

These are HUGE

Now give us Youtube etc...

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Whaaaaat? This is pretty big outta nowhere. Prepurchase, transfer, and video capture is a triple whammy! Splatoon better be one of those supported games!

 

[Bulzeeb]

so, the video capture feature is more like make a quick gif instead of actual game capture, I bet some gaffers will abuse that feature fast

 

[Theswweet]

Nintendo sure is liberal with major rev numbers for so little functionality.

Save transfer and video recording is pretty major, though?

Probably a feature they have to insert into the game via an update, so only those 4 games support it for now.

OP, can you edit Zonic's post into your post?

 

[Plinko]

Save transfer is wonderful.

 

[GSR]

Save transferring is nice, but how does it work? If it just means a 3DS-style system transfer, that's not really solving the problem of being unable to back up your saves.

 

[CharminUltra]

Nice

 

[Chie Satonaka91]

Miiverse died for this.

How so? Miiverse was cool, but it was so slow to open up I didn't use it much.

 

[Neoxon]

They had me at video capture & save transfers.

 

[Mael]

And now I can buy another Switch!

 

[Keyouta]

No save copying to SD cards?

 

[czk51]

Sounds clunky to record in-game but uploading short replay actions will be good.

 

[JStein0222]

So we can finally transfer save datas? Isn't this a relatively big deal? (as in it was a heavily requested feature).

Kinda? If your system breaks, it's not like you can just transfer to another system. Would like a back up option.

 

[Kouriozan]

Oh shit, just in time for Mario, well of course they're going to add it at the game's launch.

 

[Neiteio]

Only 30 seconds can be captured? My PS4 Pro lets me capture and edit the last 15 minutes, and even that isn't enough some time. :-\

 

[HeySeuss]

How does holding the capture button sound clunky to you?

 

[PSGames]

Why would video capture be game dependent? I would think the OS handles that.

 

[aeolustl]

Only 30 seconds can be captured? My PS4 Pro lets me capture and edit the last 15 minutes, and even that isn't enough some time. :-\

C'mon, be more realistic please

 

[RandomExpletive]

Pre-purchase?

*runs to pre-order Odyssey*

 

[NMFried]

Done! Thanks for the heads up.

 

[bounchfx]

30 is fine. It's not a ps4 pro. It's usually enough time to show any 'holy shit' moments. Hopefully they up it to 2 minutes or so but I don't think 30 will be an issue.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

30 seconds isn't huge but hey, if it'll let me save quick highlights in Spla2n I'll take it for now. I have a capture card anyway.

Streaming would be cool too but is the system even strong enough for that?

 

[DontBlink]

Full notes HERE.

 

[Nights Owl]

So apparently it's your LAST 30 Seconds from hitting the button. Not the 30 seconds after. Huh.

(I've never used video capture on a console, don't hurt me if this is the norm)

 

[anddo0]

Only 30 seconds can be captured? My PS4 Pro lets me capture and edit the last 15 minutes, and even that isn't enough some time. :-\

Think of all the poor sd cards.. 30 seconds for this scale is fine for now.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'm holding my breath that the account transfer works well

waits for reviews

 

[kc44135]

This is awesome!

 

[CelestialWolfZX]

They could clarify it a bit better, I think they mean that It can add the 30 seconds before hand to your video you are about to record. But I honestly aren't sure.

Only 30 second clips would be a bit weak, but it is all you could do with Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U...

 

[Laieon]

According to this video capture only works with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, ARMS, and Splatoon 2. Still a neat feature though, hopefully the list of games that you can capture video from expands quickly.

 

[Neiteio]

C'mon, be more realistic please

I mean, Switch's picture-taking ability is superior to my PS4 Pro, so I thought maybe they could manage at least a few minutes of video capture

 

[Zafir]

I just updated my Switch and the save data transfer seems kind of limited. It just says that you can "Transfer one user and save data associated with their Nintendo Account to a near by console". So, still no backing up?

Bit useless if your console dies....

 

[Strike]

- Transfer user profiles and save data to another system

 

[DecoReturns]

My goal is to capture My bad luck in Fire Emblem games.

(And my rare instance of good luck)

 

[Richie]

Does this mean that in the case my upcoming Switch fails and has to be replaced, now my save data won't go to hell but instead they'll be able to put it in the replacement system?

As someone paranoid of these things this is a fucking megaton.

So is pre-purchases and video dfjgnasdjngjasd
