One of the biggest features of the new Switch system update was that of the new video capture feature, which allows you to record footage from the last thirty seconds of gameplay. It’s a welcome addition, one that will no doubt get plenty of use on social media, though it is rather limited in scope right now; supporting only four Nintendo games. Nintendo has said that more games will support it going forward—suggesting that perhaps it’s something developers have to choose to implement—and now one non-Nintendo game has been confirmed to support it.
Mutant Mudds Collection—the upcoming compilation of the popular platformers from the 3DS eShops, plus a spin-off—will include support for the feature when it launches in the next few months. The game is due out on the Switch eShop sometime before the end of the year, so keep your eyes peeled. Hopefully we’ll see more games in the coming weeks implementing support for the feature, it’s certainly a lovely new feature for the platform.

Nice to see the new feature slowly rolling out. Not getting this game collection though.
Not getting this game either.
I like these games and all but there’s nothing worth recording as everyone has the same experience when playing. Flexible this is not.
I'm a little disappointed that the video capture works on a game by game basis. Wish it'd just work for everything.
@BenAV Yeah I agree with that, though I have heard that even on the PS4 the developers have control over whether you can capture footage in their games or not. I never used it so I can't verify how that works.
@brandonbwii : Exactly. This is one of many games that don't need it, especially since it only records 30 seconds at a time. Now, if it were possible to record for an indefinite amount of time so that players can record their own walkthroughs, then that's another story.
Mutant Mudds is PERFECT on 3DS.
Have yet to play any of those games. I do have heard good things about them, might check‘em out if the price is right.
I'm gonna guess he prices it at about £25. Which will probably net him about 25 sales.
I’d buy this for five bucks. Not 20-30 like they’ll probably price it. I wish the other half of the company that split woukd finish Dementium 2 remastered.
This is awesome. And the fact it's from a one man team bodes well for future games. If Mudds can do it, any game can do it.
And I will be buying this game. Fact it's physical, fact it contains both Mudds games and that puzzle game (Maybe it'll be good, who knows), fact it actually has video capture, and just being on Switch where I want all my games nowadays.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze showed exactly how replays should be done in a platformer.
Anyway, this sounds like a good first Mutant Mudds game. It's great that they finally made the "collection" they promised years ago.
People like me are much more inclined to buy now. The original game wasn't released in my region when it came to Wii U, and Super Challenge wasn't something I wanted on its own.
As much as I love the original, it being the game that started my love of Indie developed games, it's not an entirely exciting game to watch videos of, and there's little that can be done with capturing like the crazy zelda videos that have been popping up.
Unless this is some precursor to nintendo allowing it for all titles, in which case, sure why not.
@sillygostly Recording your own walkthroughs? Wow, I never thought of that.
How about getting Fire Emblem Warriors to work with video capture Nintendo. You know, one of your own IPs?
I might grab this, i only have the original one for the 3DS. Depending on the price.
