According to a new post on the Nintendo Today app, captures on the Nintendo Switch 2 will still be 30 seconds long, just like its predecessor. However, Nintendo has not yet stated if the captures will have an improved video quality.
If you held down the share button on the original Nintendo Switch, you would be able to capture the last 30-seconds of gameplay from whichever game you were currently playing. This feature, along with the capture length of 30 seconds, will carry over to the Nintendo Switch 2. The original Nintendo Switch recorded video at 720p/30 FPS, and it’s likely that Nintendo Switch 2 will record footage at 1080p.

Recently, Nintendo confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will support Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) in handheld mode only at launch on June 5. Originally, the official website stated that Nintendo Switch 2 supports VRR on compatible TVs, but Nintendo has since apologized and corrected this. However, it’s still possible that a new update could come at a later date to bring VRR support in docked mode. The system will also feature text-to-speech and live subtitles for the GameChat feature.
Additionally, Nintendo has revealed several free Nintendo Switch 2 updates for 12 first-party Nintendo Switch games. These updates will include free visual upgrades, improved frame rates, GameShare and GameChat support, and HDR support. Updates will be available on June 5 for ARMS, Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, and more.
Nintendo Switch 2 will launch on June 5 for $449.99. A bundle will be available for $499.99 featuring Mario Kart World.
