Nintendo Switch: 8 Major Positives Nobody Is Talking About

2. Meme-Making Screenshot Function

When both Sony and Microsoft announced that one of the biggest features of 'the next generation of consoles' was... social media integration, it all felt a little pointless. Yes, we can share pictures and videos of any number of glitches or hilarious bugs, but there was something missing.

Because think about it - how many times do you see a screenshot of a game get shared on the likes of Reddit or 9GAG?

Sony eventually cottoned on in September, adding the ability to create gifs from some of your most ridiculous moments, but the Switch comes complete with text-adding options the second you've prodded the capture button. Gifs and videos still have to wait, but unlike being forced to use the PS4's ShareFactory app or the awkward 'pause, bring up home menu, capture' method on the Xbox One, the Switch serves all our meme-making needs right out the box, and in the most seamless way possible.
