I realized a while ago that it's 2017, and for November, Nintendo is not releasing a major game and instead well known and advertised 3rd party games are consistently the focus for the big month in gaming.
@kkslider5552000 Yup, and there's been commercials for the Switch version of NBA 2K18 the past couple weeks. Seen that just as much as the commercials for FE Warriors and Super Mario Odyssey.
The 30 second thing doesn't bother me as there isn't a game on Switch I would want to do extended capture of and 30 seconds is perfect for a gif. However, it should work for every game, the video quality is probably going to be awful, and the screenshots should support the docked native resolution of the game in whatever mode the system is currently in. The image compression on Switch is worse than even Facebook.
For the record, PS4 also has bad image compression and the share button is so much jankier to use than Switch's.
@JaxonH should just need the other game publishers to allow it, the PS4 recording is blocked duing parts of games or menus, Im sure the Switch game will grow maybe just needs the permission from game publishers
Yeah this runs rings around PS4 Share, by miles. And @JaxonH I imagine 30 seconds is to do with Twitter, as PS4 share limits that to 15 seconds.
Plus, as stated by @Haru17 said, the compression and general quality on PS4 is....meh. Plus, PS4 can record from when you press the button, or for the past 15 minutes, and I don't know what determines which it does! With Switch, its the last 30 seconds no issue, easy to use, just like the editing tools.
The video quality on Switch is actually very good at 60fps. I imagine the reason only some games are supported, is again, look at PS4. "This scene is blocked from recording". If a publisher doesn't want parts of a game recorded, it doesn't happen. I imagine Nintendo has to talk it out on a game by game basis to see what is okay in the books of OTHER publishers.
@AlternateButtons Ah. Ive captured Splatoon 2 at 30fps and it looked worse than that (Must just be my old capture device on that end). Either way, its still good quality for facebook and twitter, though their embeds externally are ugh.

Now Streaming: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
It actually says "Many more games will be supported in the future" so I feel good about that. By the way that video looks fantastic.
I just want to know what's going on with the eshop preload? I checked and not a single game allows you to purchase in the coming soon section for preload.
@Grumblevolcano
Thanks for the heads up about the Joycon! I must have missed that. Do you know what it does?
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
Zachariah 12:10 (500 yrs before Christ)
They will look on Me whom they pierced
@JaxonH They just haven't updated the games on the eShop. We'll probably see it available for FE Warriors and Mario Odyssey with tomorrow's eShop update.
Question. I have zero experience with sharing pics or videos via Switch to facebook. Do you have any control to who you send it? Or does it just automatically appear on your home page?
@rallydefault Nope, not that I'm aware of at least! I've been lucky I guess.
@BLP_Software As always, you make it sound way more convoluted than it is in real life. You can change the settings on your PS4, you can record anywhere from 30 seconds to up to an hour. Double tap the share button to start recording. You can also press the share button, and since the PS4 always keeps footage of the last 15 minutes you played, you can pick, choose and trim the video you want to share (provided it happened within the last 15 minutes). The latter option is handy for if you want to share something that has just happened, whereas the regular record settings can be used for Let's Plays or walkthroughs I'd imagine.
The only downside is that the PS4's video quality is limited to 720p, 30fps, but the same is true for the Switch.
