Shovel Knight to support video capture on Switch with future update
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
Only a handful of Switch games support video capture at the moment. And for older titles, they need to be updated so that players can record footage.
Shovel Knight is one Switch game that will be receiving support for video capture in the future. Yacht Club told one fan on Twitter that it will be added in the next update. We’ll likely be seeing it when King of Cards launches in 2018.
Yacht Club’s tweet is as follows:
Video recording on Switch will be supported in SK's next update, most likely with King of Cards next year.

Yacht Club: Shovel Knight sold more units out of the gate on Switch than any other platform
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 2 Comments
Shovel Knight first appeared nearly three years ago. Despite that, the game did incredibly well on Switch at launch.
Yacht Club’s David D’Angelo told GamesIndustry that Shovel Knight “sold more units out of the gate than any other platform.” However, he also cautioned that the eShop is beginning to become more crowded, and believes Nintendo needs to find an easier way of highlighting both new and old titles.
D’Angelo said:
“I believe many developers right now are experiencing the same phenomenon. At the moment, games definitely stand out when they launch and consumers are excited to purchase, but at this rate there will be an over-abundance of games. We hope Nintendo updates the eShop to make it easier to highlight and find new and old titles.”
