A whole host of game capture cards are now on the market which hook up to the Switch&#8217;s dock to record gameplay onto your computer of choice. Recording directly from handheld mode has always been sadly impossible, however &#8211; until now.<\/p>\n<p>Gaming console mod expert\u00a0<a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsvideocapture.com\/product-list\/18\">Katsukity<\/a> has created a new hardware mod for the Switch, allowing you to capture footage directly from the console when playing in handheld mode.\u00a0Working in a similar way to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2013\/10\/guide_how_to_capture_video_and_screenshots_from_your_3ds\">mods previously seen for Nintendo 3DS<\/a>, this new product features a capture board which can be attached to your console, allowing you to directly stream the footage to a PC monitor.<\/p>\n<p>When installed, the capture board can be seen sitting inside a plastic shell on the back of the Switch, with a USB 3.0 connection on top to connect to your PC. A special viewer software is also provided to display the image on your monitor. It&#8217;s a pretty big commitment, and having your Switch transformed in this way shouldn&#8217;t be a decision that is\u00a0taken lightly, although there are a couple of options available should you be interested.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to send your Switch away to be modded, that&#8217;ll set you back $199.99. Another option is available, however, whereby you can ask for a brand new Switch console to be sent to you with all of the necessary changes already made for $545.99. You can check the offers out <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsvideocapture.com\/product-list\/18\">here<\/a> if you&#8217;re interested.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the mod in action below thanks to this new video from the folks at <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/digitalfoundry-2018-switch-mobile-mode-analysed-in-unprecedented-detail\">Digital Foundry<\/a>; the unit has allowed some interesting new discoveries to be made about the console&#8217;s performance in handheld mode.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube\">[embedded content]<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><em>Do you record footage from your Switch?
