We're big fans of RIVE: Ultimate Edition on the Nintendo Switch, the explosive final hurrah from Two Tribes. It's full of intense 60fps action that looks great on the system, and we didn't hold back on the praise in our review.
Two Tribes has been working away on an update and has now pushed out version 1.21; the key addition is support for for video through the capture button, so if you do something amazing and want to capture the last 30 seconds you can.
Some other tweaks and improvements have been confirmed.
- Added video recording.
- Improved the checkpoint system, so there’s an even smaller chance you die, respawn and get stuck in a loop of hell in a loop of hell in a loop of hell.
- Improved support for Asian characters in the Leaderboards, like テ but not like Major Motoko Kusanagi.
- Your Achievements now survive the Reset Save Data option in the RIVE Settings menu. Deliberately want to get rid of them? The Delete Save Data option in the Switch System Settings is way more ruthless.
- Fixed an issue where foggy levels could look iffy after switching from TV mode to handheld/tabletop mode and vice versa. Now they look mesmerizing all of the time.
- Fixed an issue with positional audio effects, so their volume is no longer INCORRECTLY LOUD.
- Various other small fixes and improvements.
So there you have it - it's a game that certainly suits snappy video highlights due to all of its set-pieces. If you've played this let us know in the comments which set-pieces and sequences are your favourites.

Sounds good, we need more games with video capture.
Love this game beat it in a single run and wanted more went to challenges got exactly what I was asking for. Excellent game
So why did Two Tribes go under? It's kinda odd how this game is released by a company that is certain they are gone, but it's nice to see how they didn't give up on it.
hard as bloody nails
Gotta get this one soon.
@JayJ - They didn't go under, and they didn't shut down. Two Tribes still very much exists. They just aren't making games any more. They look at themselves as dinosaurs. From a post last year, they said: "When running a company, you need to be on top of your game, not just in terms of the product you're making, but business-wise too," the post stated. "And we just aren't on top of the games business anymore."
On a totally different note, I wish more companies wrote their changelogs like this. I laughed at loud at "Now they look mesmerizing all of the time."
Fixing the checkpoint system is the real highlight here, it was my only complaint on my playthrough.
Those are some humorous patch notes!
@Kalmaro Fully agree, I am playing The End is Nigh and I really wish it had video support.
You can't beat these patches
Why not include customisation in the controls? I want jump to be ZR and sub weapons ZL
Just beat it for the first time yesterday. Time to go back in.
