Among the most anticipated, we have the video capture as well as the transfer of backups to another console. The list is long for this major version that will probably delight the lucky owners of the hybrid console of Big N. Let's see in detail what it is exactly.
The Nintendo Switch is selling well and the Japanese manufacturer intends to continue to improve the user experience on its gaming console. Many players were waiting to be able to make video captures of their game sessions and Big N decided to give them the opportunity. At the moment, it's only a handful of games: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and ARMS. It is also important to ensure that titles are up to date in order to benefit from video capture. In practice, the last 30 seconds of videos are recorded and videos can be reduced and shared on social networks.
Nintendo Switch: Major new update with video capture and backup transfer
As for the backup transferfunction, it works in the following way. You first have to go to the settings and choose to transfer a user to the "Users" menu. The target console must be nearby for the transfer to be operational. It is worth noting that when this is completed, the original console will no longer have access to purchased games. Not to mention that screenshots and videos are not transferred to the new console. Players will then be able to download the games from The Nintendo store on the console and resume the games with the backups.
Finally, a few new features are worth mentioning such as the addition of 12 new icons to customize user profiles, you can also sync with a group of users to enjoy the same version of a game. The full list of new features is available on Nintendo's website. Remember that Big N who loves to surf the wave of retro gaming is considering the return of the Game Boy.
