Nintendo reveals Nintendo Labo functionality for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe


Posted on June 26, 2018 by Jason Nason

Starting today, Nintendo is releasing a free software update for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game for the Nintendo Switch, allowing you to use the Toy-Con Motorbike from the Nintendo Labo: Variety Kit to control your in-game vehicles.

Every game mode and every vehicle type is available with this immersive, interactive controller option.

It’s a neat concept to be sure. What other games could see some Labo functionality? Could the new yet unannounced Nintendo Labo kits be designed with game support in mind?

Nintendo Switch OS V4.0 Adds Video Capture For Select Titles


Posted on October 19, 2017 by Rae Michelle Richards

The latest firmware update for Nintendo Switch is here, bringing our home menus to version 4.0 but also adding a feature that has been missing since launch: the ability to capture video clips. Switch now supports 30-second video clip capture via the capture button on the right JoyCon for select titles, unfortunately not all games are supported right now.  

Here is Nintendo’s official description of the new video capture feature: 

“To capture video in compatible games, hold down the capture button during gameplay. This will create a video clip of the last 30 seconds. You can then view the saved videos in your album, trim the beginning and end of each clip, and post videos to your Facebook page and Twitter feed. 

Currently, you can use this feature in the following games: 

  • The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild (version 1.3.0 and later) 
  • Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe (version 1.3.0 and later) 
  • ARMS™ (version 3.1.0 and later) 
  • Splatoon™ 2 (version 1.1.1 and later)” 

Preloading select games from the Nintendo E-Shop is also supported with Nintendo Switch OS V4.0. Owners with a preference for digital titles might look forward to a speedy unlock of Super Mario Odyssey when that releases later this month. Speaking of Odyssey, Nintendo added new Player Portrait options based on both Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey with this latest update.
