Ubisoft updated Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle about a week ago. Without question, the big highlight is the inclusion of the brand new Versus Mode.

The update also does at least one more thing that we’ve now become aware of and not really brought up elsewhere. Video capture is supported, so you can use Switch’s built in function to record videos up to thirty seconds long. Give it a shot if you come across something you’d like to save and share.
