Nintendo Switch system update 4.0.0 is good news for fans of Super Mario Odyssey.
Among other things, the latest Nintendo Switch update adds eShop pre-orders, video capture and save transfers.
With the release of Super Mario Odyssey just a few weeks away, video capture is a particularly exciting addition.
It’s currently not available in all Nintendo Switch games, just first party exclusives like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, ARMS, Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Express Online has contacted Nintendo to find out if it will be available in Super Mario Odyssey when its October 27 release date rolls around.
As Eurogamer points out, limited video capture support – and the fact that it only works with updated versions of the aforementioned releases – suggests that developers have to manually add the feature.
Another useful feature is the ability to pre-order games from the Nintendo eShop.
Not only does this ensure you receive the game the moment it comes out, but it also lets you check the prices ahead of release.
More good news for Super Mario Odyssey fans is the ability to select profile icons from the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive.
This includes Mario and Cappy, as well as capped versions of in-game enemies like Bullet Bills, Goombas and the T-rex.
You can download update 4.0.0 by visiting the system section from the settings menu.
Super Mario Odyssey is shaping up to be one of this year’s best Nintendo Switch games.
After receiving a perfect score from Edge, Japanese publication Famitsu has given it an impressive 39/40 review score.
The Edge review, meanwhile, said that while Mario may be getting on a bit, the Nintendo icon is no dinosaur.
The review also praises the different Cappy transformations, the soundtrack and the boss fights.
In fact, Express Online recently described the Seaside Kingdom boss as one of the best ever in a Mario game.
