Hold the small record button on the controller (the one with the little circle) for a 30 second video. Then it will be in the album folder from the Switch's main menu.

From there you can upload it to Facebook or Twitter (I'm not on either) or download to a phone or tablet. I put it on Youtube from there.

Yeah it's a shame you can't define a longer record game, but I suppose its because drive space is significantly smaller in most cases than other consoles.

I read this yesterday and laughed to myself.
Cut to today when I accidentally hit the B button and my car skidded and slowed down. I ALSO DON'T KNOW HOW TO BRAKE! I was hitting ZL the whole time! ZL is items! You use it constantly! What a dummy.
I have like 80 hours of MK8 under my belt, how did I forget how to brake? :lol:

I don't think I've ever used the brakes once in 30 years of Mario Kart :lol:

This may be the wrong thread but it seems the most active in this subforum so I'll use it!

Do you guys ever play anything else online (or fancy playing anything else)? Mario Kart's definitely the easiest to set up and play but I'd be up for pretty much anything on Gamepass - games like Halo and Forza would work pretty well for 8-12 people.

It's a shame Smash Bros runs like treacle online - that'd be a blast.

The only other games I ever really play online are Red Dead Online and Fall Guys (both PS4), but I'd be open to pretty much any PS4/Switch meet up, assuming I had access to the game

I rarely play online. Just the odd random game of Splatoon 2 at the moment, always up for a Mario Kart evening though.

Never played Smash online as fighting games aren't a big thing for me. Shame to hear it runs poorly.

Sorry.
I actually spent a decent chunk of time breaking the Mario Kart rust off. I'll still get last place, just not by 2 miles

Heh, nice one! It doesnt really matter where you place with Mario Kart as long as you had a laugh doing it.

See you all later on! beep beep

I think you’ll have competition from me for last!
