Nintendo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nintendo is gearing up for the launch of theSwitch 2<\/ins>on June 5, and to ensure you\u2019re ready to go when the console arrives at your door, you\u2019ll need to download the latest update for the newly renamed Nintendo Switch App. The app, which was previously called the Nintendo Switch Online app, had added a number of new features, including a more seamless screenshot interface, GameChat functionality and placeholder icons for game-specific services like Zelda Notes. The latter will become usable on launch day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably the most useful addition is the revamped screenshots and video upload feature, which allows you to link your phone to your Switch 2 and wirelessly upload in-game media to the app, either manually or automatically. This was already possible on the original Switch (and is hardly a revolutionary feature), but doing so involved someneedlessly clunky<\/ins>QR code scanning that didn\u2019t always work. Now, screenshots and gameplay clips should just appear in the app, where you can save them locally. Up to 100 files can be stored in the app for 30 days from the point of upload, and once you hit the limit the oldest files will disappear if not saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another big Switch 2 feature is GameChat, Nintendo\u2019s new multiplayer voice chat functionality. Via the Nintendo Switch App you\u2019ll be able to receive notifications for GameChat invites, friends coming online and friend requests. Your added friends will be displayed on the home screen of the app. Again, no one who\u2019s been playing games on a modern PlayStation or Xbox console for the last decade is going to be blown away by any of this stuff, but it looks like playing online with friends on Switch 2 is going to be mercifully less fiddly than on its predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zelda Notes icon now appears when you open the Nintendo Switch App, but it won\u2019t be functional until June 5. The app, which is only compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions ofThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em>andTears of the Kingdom<\/em>, effectively functions like a sat nav for tracking down missing Koroks and shrines on your save file. You can also share your Autobuild creations inTotK<\/em>with friends, edit in-game photos and check play records such as the number of enemies defeated and total game overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nintendo is making small tweaks to some of itsother services<\/ins>ahead of the Switch 2\u2019s arrival. Over on Nintendo Switch Online (not to be confused with the mobile app), where you can play a selection of emulated classics from Nintendo\u2019s back catalogue, a new Switch 2-exclusive rewind feature will be added to the N64 library, as well as a new CRT filter option. These features were already available for NES and SNES games on the service, and it\u2019s not entirely clear why original Switch owners won\u2019t benefit from the additional N64 options as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
