NBA 2K18 removes screenshot feature on Switch with version 1.07 due to “new Nintendo policy”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Since launch, NBA 2K18 players have been able to capture screenshots with the game. Almost every title on the system supports the feature. But with version 1.07, the functionality has been disabled.
The exact reason behind this is interesting but unclear. A customer support representative says that a “new Nintendo policy” prompted the change.
The same also applies for another 2K title, by the way. You can no longer take screenshots in WWE 2K18.

A closer look at WWE 2K18’s technical disappointments on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 0 comments
We’ve seen a number of impressive Switch ports over the past year such as Doom. On the other end of the spectrum, WWE 2K18 is proably the biggest disappointment. Digital Foundry has explored the Switch version in detail and unfortunately, even after patches, it’s a rather big mess.
WWE 2K18’s frame rate on Switch just isn’t up to snuff. When the frame rate dips, the whole game as a whole slows down. That can cause problems for audio since you may hear a character speak, only to see his lips finally move a few seconds later – so things are out of sync.
