One feature you might not have realised has been added in the latest Switch update, is the ability to post up to four video game screenshots from the same game (at once) to social media. Previously, you were only able to upload one photo at a time. In the long run, this is going to make uploading your favourite screenshots less of a hassle if you do opt with this method. Below is a description from the lovely Switch guide, Amelia:
When posting screenshots to social networks, you can now post multiple screenshots at once! If my friends thought I shared a lot of screenshots before, just wait till they see my new, powered-up posting form!
You might have also noticed characters from Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker can now be used as your user icon.
Are you happy you can now upload multiple screenshots at once? What other features in this update have you found? Tell us below.

Never used this feature, I don't see how other people could be interested in my screenshots... But I don't use social media at all (apart of this), so I'm probably not the best customer.
I am sure I would have used this feature before I realized that Facebook and Twitter are cancer and stopped using them entirely... aside from the messenger app.
Both are just invitations for arguments, insults, flame wars and all manner of negativity and unpleasantness. It took me a decade to understand this. But I do.
@Heavyarms55 Hah, I know, right? I'm pretty much the same. Only difference is that my only way of sharing said pictures is through Twitter so I just post them to Twitter on a private account and then grab them there to upload to messenger when I want to share them with some friends.
Facebook requires you to bloody post them on your wall or some blorp, I'm not doing that.
@Heavyarms55 Doesn’t sound all that much different from the comment section here on NL honestly.
I wonder if the Switch knows that I can post up to 250 characters on Twitter yet?
Nice! I made a twitter account just for sharing clips and screenshots with friends, so this is a welcome addition
Looking at that graphic the girl looks like she is playing Bad North. I realise it is not supposed to represent any game but the art style and island shape screams Bad North.
I mean, Twitter is whatever you link it up with. You can quite easily live in a jolly little game bubble, blissfully unaware of that fact that humanity tearing itself into a shrieking bloody mess elsewhere on the website. Using multiple accounts is also useful if you like to keep your benign hobbies and your super-serial-political-debates-with-strangers separate. Facebook on the other hand is a little more difficult to curate.
Neither of them is quite Miiverse though...
@Jiya I swear, about five years ago it DIDN'T sound like that in the comments on Nintendo Life. Those were the days.
@kurtasbestos Proof that humanity is on a roller coaster that only goes down.
Sorry humanity... I still love you though!
@Jiya Recently, yeah, it's really sad. When I came to NL a few months before the Switch was launched, it was so different. It was so much more positive, people were excited for the Switch, it was happy. But in the last few weeks it's gotten surprisingly toxic.
@Heavyarms55 It’s a real shame, but I guess alot of good people still hang around here. Happy to talk to all of them about our shared hobbies and passions.
Miiverse is the only social media I want to post on
@Heavyarms55 success breeds envy. Quite a few trolls joined once the Switch took off, many with a big interest in seeing Nintendo go 3rd party, so came in with the sole aim of spreading negativity wherever they can on any news Nintendo related good or bad.
Before tbe Switch took off sooooo many especially Sony fans but PC and Xbox too expected and wanted Nintendo to go 3rd party and exit hardware...
Then when it didn't happen and success was clear... Many got upset and thought "lets be negative about everything Nintendo in the hope that eventually we may get our way"...

Read this blog... Its one opinion but you'd honestly be surprised how many share his pov... Even though they SEE the success, acknowledge it and they even understand WHY its successful... But exactly like this person here... They WANT Nintendo to go 3rd party SOOOOO badly.
So much so that they will ignore great games on a great system to make it happen.
@NintendoFan4Lyf bro you would genuinely be surprised how many people think like he does...
I actually personally have a friend i dont always see him but we hang, now this friend of mine openly admits the Switch is fun, i take it to his to show it off and try and get him to buy into it eventually.
When we play it we enjoy it and we debate about whatever...
Heres the kicker... Everytime i don't see him for any length of time he will revert back to his default "Nintendo is for kids, should go third party" mentality...
EVERY FRIGGIN TIME!...
Like that is his default image of Nintendo and no matter what games he may find fun or if he enjoys portability... No rhyme or reason behind it... He will.automatically revert back to his default thinking of Nintendo...
Like he'd never seen a Switch before... We have repeated this process 3 times... Next time i won't bother bringing it, just gonna dog on his PS4 all day to see his reaction...
These people genuinely exist... They NEED Nintendo to go 3rd party.... No matter what.
Edit: i would really love to see the relation between Nvidia and Nintendo grow into.something bigger.
Can you imagine and Nfone? Nintendo enters mobile phone industry with a real gaming phone.
It could genuinely be a perfect follow-up for the DS line of games we had, like mini Zelda ect... With the Switch being the main focus for bigger AAA games.
I would LOVE that to happen...
@Razer Yeah, I know that these people exist. I have seen them for years. It's not new to me, but it is new for me to see it on this site. I remember when I first came on this site and I was shocked by how pleasant the community was at the time. I mean, I've made angry posts too on occasion. I just left a vicious one on the Cities Skylines review. But I've seen some nasty arguments on this site in recent weeks. Heck, that post about the kid who had cancer NL actually had to lock the comments on! It's quite sad. That goes way beyond just disagreeing with each other over differing opinions...
@Heavyarms55 Oh trust me bro... I was so angry at what happened there on that topic. That was simply unacceptable. I didn't even post on the topic itself, i just had my hand in my head the whole time in disgust at it.

Yes, finally!
@Noobioh indeed.
@Galenmereth We're not talking about disappointment about some specific thing, it's more like the posts that say "this is total clickbait" or "I already read this news somewhere else" or many, many other negative comments that are barely related to the actual article and are completely subjective. Or just plain rude. There's a lot of that these days, and there didn't used to be.
