It's not the screenshot tool, the entire beta has that watermark on screen at all times.
Bayonetta 2
I need to finish Bayonetta and get to Bayonetta 2, great shots.

XC2 is so good, but playing it handheld some times the IQ is a bit rough.

Hey guys how can I post my screenshots on here from the switch? Can I use a USB on dock and transfer the pics?

Haha wow, I didn't even notice.
Unfortunately not. You either need to use the upload feature to send them to Facebook or Twitter, or save them to an SD card and transfer them to the PC that way.
Damn I dont have have SD card, guess I'll just use Twitter. Thank you tho
also how would I post the screenshot after I get it from Twitter? It's been a while since I posted screens
right click and copy image location on the image in your tweet, come back here and click insert image while making your post and paste the url.

Is there much of an appetite in here for old-school handheld screenshots, like GB/C/A, GameGear etc.? I'd love to see more of those. Totally appreciate they're not as easy to take compared to stuff like Switch these days.
You mean a screenshot off the hardware itself? Cuz grabbing screenshots off an emulator is super easy, but not sure it's allowed in here.
Yes, the hardware. I guess emulator is possible, no idea what the rules are on this either.
I know screen capture kits exist for the more modern dedicated handhelds. Not sure about the older systems like GB or GG though. If only we could get Jeremy Parish posting in here :P

Ehh I only made the thread, I don't own it. Personally I'd say emulators are okay for capturing but the spirit of the thread would mean accurately representing the experience on the system itself as much as possible.
Hi! The best way to capture original Game Boy is through a Super Game Boy (or better yet, import a Super Game Boy 2). Run it on a Super Nt and it's going to be crisp and crunchy via HDMI. If you have an Nt Mini, you can jailbreak to get the same effect with GBC and Game Gear.
There are consolized mods out there for Game Gear and Lynx (look up McWill) and GBA (by Woozle), though the GBA is still in early days and I'm waiting for more orders to open up so I can get my hands on one. No one appears to have been able to tap the video feed on WonderSwan or NGPC yet, which is a shame.
V-Rally 4 (Switch)
The graphics in portable mode are miserable, but the novelty of playing such a complex, fully-featured realistic racing game on the Switch kinda makes up for it. Gear.Club 1 and 2 look better but the courses are also much simpler.

I have no idea, actually. The description on Nintendo's website says it has "an innovative online mode," which I'm assuming means no online multi or they would just say it outright, but I'm not sure.
Astebreed (Switch)
I don't know what this game is but now I'm googling reviews of it.

It's a bullet hell shooter but a really easy one. It's not bad but the visuals are honestly the best part of it, it's only about an hour long.
I have gear.club 1&2 and i gotta say i think the graphics in this are miles ahead of those gamesV-Rally 4 (Switch)

I just cherry-pick screens to avoid showing off the most glaring flaws. V-Rally 4 definitely has much more interesting courses visually, you can tell it's a port of a game that has a bigger budget, but Gear.Club 2 has a higher resolution and overall just knew to not try to do too much for the hardware. V-Rally 4 goes for photorealism and it doesn't translate well to the hardware. It makes every graphical shortcoming that much more obvious.
That said, I do enjoy the more interesting courses and there are moments where the game does indeed look nice. I just wish the game looked in portable mode the way it did docked.
Regardless, it's the best realistic racing game on the system. It's hard to an absolutely baffling degree—I'm happy if I don't finish 12th on the easiest difficulty—but that hasn't yet hindered my progression, so whatever.
I dig the art style for this game. Too bad the demo turned me off.Valkyria Chronicles
Sadly not enjoying the game as much as I thought I would.
I've been mostly playing it in docked mode and prefer the realistic graphics even with the flaws. Give's me an idea of what a ground up realistic racer could look like on Switch. I can only do one star races and i still finish in last place 90% of the times. On occasion i actually come in 1st place which gives me hope. This game is balls hard lol
Here's a comparison between docked and undocked that kinda shows, to me, how removing some of the foliage hurt the look of the game more than it might have in a game with a simpler art style:
It's probably the game I own that has the biggest downgrade in portable mode versus docked, but it still looks fine a lot of the time as long as you're not doing direct comparisons.

This confuses me. The game is doing nothing even close to Wii U levels. It has to be poor optimisation.
Its out already? How do you like it?Caligula Effect: Overdose

It's okay, I'm enjoying it enough to keep playing but I wouldn't recommend anyone to rush out and buy it.
The premise is somewhat interesting but the story pacing is a bit too fast, with the intro being super abrupt. On the other hand the gameplay pacing so far seems too slow because you spend a long time in samey looking dungeons. The combat system is fun when you're setting up combos but can also drag against the more difficult enemies because you tend to just miss on your more useful attacks. The game is never too punishing though so you can always try.
Visually the game is a mixed bag, it has a nice style and some parts looks cool but it's simultaneously apparent that it's based on a Vita game and perhaps not as good looking as it should be on Switch(it's a tad blurry).
Totally forgot about this game. I will buy it for sure later.Katamary Damacy Reroll.
