Hmmm just hit update controller in the settings. Both my Joy-Cons are updating at the moment. Wonder what it improves.

Joycon now make Switch sandwiches

 

[Ashodin]

Time to video capture some ARMS matches

 

[Atheerios]

From Reddit:

I did a quick video capture in Zelda while running in handheld mode, trimmed it a little, copied it to a microSD card, and took a look at exactly what it recorded.

(I uploaded my test video to Vimeo, here: https://vimeo.com/238864655)

It's an MP4 file, 1280x720 resolution, 30 fps, encoded as H.264, with AAC stereo audio at 48kHz. The bitrate is 4.38Mbit/s.

(Yeah, we could have guessed a bunch of that, but I figured it was worth actually just checking.)

 

[Andrefpvs]

Huh, this is a neat feature.

If you have a local wireless group, and someone's game isn't updated, then the update will be locally downloaded from the other Switches.

For Pokémon games, this basically enables new Pokémon being introduced via updates, since the games can now be forced to only trade/battle with players that have the same version. Just have the player with the latest update send the update to the other player, then boot up the game and start the trade.

This should solve the problem of Mythical Pokémon getting leaked at the very start of a generation, if Game Freak chooses to follow this solution.

 

[Dyle]

Neat, too bad this doesn't fix the biggest problem with the OS, no music in the eshop

- Korean, Chinese (Traditional/Simplified) language added to Nintendo Switch(Application only). System language will be still English for both platforms.

That's nice to hear.

 

[boiled goose]

I like the recording option implementation.

Good for saving fun little moments and highlights without having to record everything.

Hold the capture button to video capture.... because thats not gonna be annoying playing something like Zelda

It saves the previous 30 seconds of gameplay, this has been explained thoroughly.

quality is pretty meh but whatever, at least I can document my splatoon shenanigans

Yeah, with this quality it's pretty useless (on Splatoon at least) :/

 

[Saiko_Orochi]

Looks like the UI and eShop are 1080p in Dock Mode... At least that says my TV

 

[Garou]

It’s just a single long press and capturing the past 30 seconds.

 

[civilstrife]

It saves the last 30 seconds of gameplay. You don't hold it down while playing.

good otherwise it would of been awful haha

Happyt about preloads also might save me for Xenoblade since I go away the day before release

Wait, is this really so??

 

[Neonep]

So.... Can I transfer my BOTW save from my Wii U to Switch?

 

[jmizzal]

Was just trying to make a cool video with Wolf Link and it turned out to be a pretty amazing video with what Wolf Link does lol

Have you always been able to update your joycons? I just updated all my joycons.

Never seen this option before. I did it too.
I hope it improves the signal when they're detached.

 

[ProBusinessgamer]

People excited for this must not own a Xbox One or PS4, there is nothing exciting about this, its like being excited that i found the missing wheel on my bike, so now i can use it.
Pre purchage and pre download is also coming soon to select games, not activated, so half baked. But switch gets passes on frame rate, resolution, online, almost mandatory sd card buys, and now tiny updates.... whats new.

I’m pretty sure your TV wouldn’t know that.

Save transfers is a Godsend. I'll finally be able to play Splatoon 2 with my brother

I'm not sure I'd judge it based on twitter quality...another poster already said it recorded 720p/30fps in handheld mode and that definitely isn't 720p

People are excited about this because they own the Switch. No one is pretending this is anything new for gaming. Stop being so salty. It's a bad look

I’m so sorry you’re upset about other people being more happy with their product.

 

[Vanillalite]

I assume video capture stuff will be part of the sdk going forward so games coming will support it.

I wonder how hard/easy it'll be for indie to do.

Yeh, I can use my PS4 and Xbox to capture video on my Switch.

 

[Pokemaniac]

Yesssssssss, they fixed the news app. The articles aren't in a different order every time you open it anymore.

 

[Stairouais]

I think it does!

I had signal problems even when I was near the console and it seems far, far better now!

 

[atr0cious]

Posted before, but yeah, my old screenshots from my previous Switch just appeared in my new Switch's album. I'm using the same SD card from that first Switch and I'm 100% sure that those pictures weren't there before!

Awesome that I get to have them again!

I "formatted" my sd card through the switch and had the same thing happen, but I think the pictures are partitioned outside of the rest of the files.

 

[Takat]

When can I pre-purchase SMO?

 

[Lunchbillion]

Modern Nintendo is actually being modern?
This is great news.

 

[atbigelow]

Wait, is this really so??

I think the dock always outputs a 1080p signal, regardless of render resolution. Would need to pixel count.

Everything's a damn pissing match for some of you.

I have other consoles.

Still pretty excited to have this on my portable console, which the others are not

Some things can continue to be patched and added to further be improved on switch, on the other hand, portability is not something you can patch and make my ps4 do lol

you could say the same about people who were excited about it with ps4 and xbox1 must've never owned PCs. The fact is, it's new to those ecosystems and people are allowed to be excited about it. The switch is 1/10th the size of those systems, so yeah compromises are made and people are obviously ok with it. it's fine to not agree, but don't make it seem like it's a crime to be excited about something because you're not.

For the record, I have a high-end gaming PC and I’m excited for this because I will get to (I assume) record gameplay from Super Mario Odyssey and share with Facebook, something I can’t do on a PC, or atleast not as easy.

Isn't that Twitter's doing? What's that 360p? The quality from Atheerios video is a lot better on Vimeo.

 

[Vital Tundra]

To bad we didn’t get an update for photos. Would love the ability to take screenshots that aren’t compressed to shit with Mario around the corner.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Here's a fun capture:

https://twitter.com/skitt2501/status/920819194542800896

Granted I watched this on my phone but the quality doesn't look too bad to me.

 

[jmizzal]

When can I pre-purchase SMO?

I bet it updates tomorrow in the background when the eshop updates with new games

Youtube captures will prob come when the app is on the system lol

 

[Karspankey]

Lol, the UI isn't in 1080p

Can't work miracles here

 

[gogogow]

Can't believe we still didn't get a save backup feature. Transferring to another Switch is pretty pointless if your Switch died. C'mon Nintendo, this is getting ridiculous.

Fullscreen, it looks pretty bad to be honest. Probably Twitter.

 

[Pokemaniac]

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

I'm not sure the switch really has enough available memory (either RAM or storage) to keep that amount of data around constantly.

 

[reKon]

I was just about to say this. This is the most important update that's absolutely necessary and people celebrating Nintendo in the 1st page. Like what the fuck? Lol...

 

[RNG]

Ooo very nice.

You can also turn the brightness down even more now with this update.

 

[Deku89]

I think limited might be the better word. If a couple have 1 Switch and end up getting 2, this would be useful. But yes, cloud saves would be better.

Edit: Read again, yes, it would be useless if the Switch died.

 

[Nights Owl]

Ooo very nice.

That'd be why my brightness settings were reset to default + Energy Saving.
