Nintendo did appear at Gamescom 2023 which at that point was the first time in four years, but then missed last year’s show.

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments

We can hold out hope that something like a firmware update could change that in the future, but at least at launch, 30 seconds is the recording limit once again.
