(→Usages in the Super Smash Bros. series: Rewriting the section, as the camera is not at all made redundant, as we we still need it to set up angles for shots and the like - plus a press of the A button automatically removes the UI for a moment while the snap is taken.) |

It allows the player to capture screenshots 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]]. | ||

Ultimate|Ultimate]]'' is one of the few games on the [[Nintendo Switch]] that does not have the ability to save videos via the capture button, likely due to the feature being redundant as the game can natively save battles with the in-game [[replay]] feature, which can convert entire matches into video files. Normal screenshots can still be taken, a feature that is used in conjunction with the series' trademark [[camera]]; when taking a snapshot, the resulting picture will be saved directly to the Switch's Album, instead of an album internally within the software as in previous games. | ||
