make it system wide please
i was just saying how i wish i could take screenshots of ocarina 3d, because there are barely any good shots of certain things in that game.
[QUOTE=meppers;40346983]make it system wide please[/QUOTE] It's probably just a test right now, it should be system wide by the time they've released it to the West.
Will probably be part of the miiverse update?
I hope it will take high quality screenshots, and not use a terrible jpg compression like the vita.

Knowing Nintendo's patterns? It's not going to be system-wide, and game-support will be limited.
wow the resolution is worse than I thought it was still better than the 2004DS but that's not very attractive
[QUOTE=Zet;40352225]I hope it will take high quality screenshots, and not use a terrible jpg compression like the vita.[/QUOTE] If only the Vita had any options for that :/ Sure, it could default to Jpeg compressed, but why not give the option to set it to .png?
[QUOTE=Flyingman356;40352772]wow the resolution is worse than I thought it was still better than the 2004DS but that's not very attractive[/QUOTE] Both the 3DS and the Vita's resolutions look awful. The Vita just less so, though both don't look nearly as bad when they're actually on the screen and are native resolution.

If the screenshot is supposed to convey a message, it doesn't have to be in perfect resolution to get it across. Honestly looks perfectly fine. Nintendo needs to make this system wide though, it would be amazing.
They're testing the waters on this with Animal Crossing and Tomodachi Collection, but its safe to say that this will be included in the 3DS Miiverse update, seeing as every game on Wii U with Miiverse support allows you to upload screenshots IIRC. I think they'll have it ready by at least E3, possibly during their conference.

Handhelds have always had really low resolutions compared to consoles, it's the nature of the hardware limitations. I have a 3DS myself and never thought it looked nearly as bad as the screenshots.
I hope they allow you to save the screenshots rather than instantly upload them.
