Cleaned up and expanded this as much as I could. Tbh, I don't think anything else can be added unless the next console includes the same feature.

-The '''capture button''' refers to a button on the left [[Joy-Con]], allowing the player to capture pictures of the game they are playing and view them in the system's capture gallery. If the button is pressed, the Switch takes a screenshot of whatever game the player is playing; if the button is held, the Switch saves the last 30 seconds of gameplay as a video, though this option is limited to certain games (while the player can take screenshots in any game). ''[[Ultimate]]'' does not have the ability to save videos in this way, likely due to the alternative ability to save [[replay]]s in the game, and the ability to convert replays into videos.
+The '''capture button''' refers to a button near the bottom of the left [[Joy-Con]], as well as on the [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]]. It allows the player to capture pictures of the Switch game they are playing and view them in the system's capture gallery, where they can then be edited with customizable text or be posted to either [[Facebook]] or [[Twitter]].
+If the button is pressed, the Switch takes a screenshot of whatever game the player is playing, but if the button is held, the Switch saves the last 30 seconds of gameplay as a video, though the latter feature often varies by game. Captured videos can also be edited and posted in a similar fashion.

+===In ''Ultimate''===
+Likely due to the in-game [[replay]] feature (which was not present until the game's 3.0 update), ''[[Ultimate]]'' is one of the few games on the [[Nintendo Switch]] that does not have the ability to save videos via the capture button. Normal screenshots can still be taken, though given the return of the series' trademark [[camera]], such a function is arguably redundant, as pictures taken via in-game methods are saved to the Switch's capture gallery in the same fashion to regular screenshots.
-In addition to normal screenshots, pictures taken by the [[camera]] are saved to the Switch's capture gallery in the same fashion as a regular screenshot would.
