Do not underestimate the sheer awesomeness of the Switch's screenshot functionality. Where on the PS4 and Xbox One you'd have to boot up separate apps/software to tuck into editing them, Nintendo have allowed for the addition of text whenever you hop into the Album editor.

First make sure you've tethered either your Facebook or Twitter account to your Nintendo Account through the System Settings, take whichever shot you'd like using the dedicated button on the left Joy-Con, then hop back into the main menu to get into the album.

From here - and it's all too easy to skirt over the 'Edit' prompt, as we tend to on other systems - press the corresponding button to open up the option to add text. It's a simple inclusion, but have you seen the proliferation of image-sharing sites across the last few years?

Be it Imgur, 9GAG, Reddit etc., getting text-based memes online opens up the sharing potential of the Switch's library tenfold.

Now, get captioning!
