The Nintendo Switch Already Has Its Own Photo Printer

Nintendo Switch Already Has Its Own Photo Printer

This may be the last accessory you imagined for the Nintendo Switch , because we are talking about a console and not a smartphone, but it makes sense that Nintendo and Fujifilm have created a printer with which you can print your best photos now that Pokémon Snap arrives. .

Fujifilm and Nintendo create Instax for Switch

Fujifilm and Nintendo have launched a printer for the Nintendo Switch , so that you can print the photographs that you have taken with the console. Yes, you have read correctly, the photographs you have taken with the console or rather with the games on it. Because we all know that it does not have cameras, but titles like Animal Crossing, Zelda, etc., have made many users not stop taking captures.

For that simple reason, this is why this proposal from both companies not only makes a lot of sense, it could also become a sales success now that titles like Pokémon Snap are arriving where the purpose is none other than to take photos of the different ones. pokémons that you are finding out there.

Of course, if you think so, let’s first get to know what the printer itself is like and then we’ll talk about the details, the new application and what you can do with it.

Instax Mini Link Special Edition

The Instax Mini Link Special Edition is not a really new printer, rather it is a special edition of a model that Fujifilm has been selling for a long time. The difference here is in the aesthetic details that with classic colors of the Switch, such as blue and red, give it a different touch.

Even so, beyond the red part of the upper area or that blue border where the power button and printer logo are located, what will attract the most attention of this Instax is the silicone case in the shape of Pikachu. A detail that is the same only for that reason makes more than one be interested in her. Especially if you intend to play Pokémon Snap.

Because with this printer, Nintendo Switch users will be able to instantly print the photographs (captures) they take in the games on paper . Something that they will do thanks to a new application and, possibly, to that improvement that Nintendo recently made to the use of Bluetooth connectivity. Which reminds us that just being able to connect a Bluetooth headset will continue to be the dream of many.

What will you be able to print with the Switch printer

Fujifilm’s new printer for Nintendo Switch comes with an application that will allow players to easily transfer a screenshot of the game they have previously taken. To do this, they will only have to scan a QR code that will be displayed on the screen and that’s it.

Once you have done these steps and have the photo on your phone, it can be sent to the printer to be printed on those rolls of instant film that they use. Although a series of frames can also be applied both to those captures and to the photos that can be taken with the phone’s camera.

Those frames are based on Nintendo’s own games that are known to all as Super Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and New Pokémon Snap.

Can I use a regular Instax Mini Link?

If you are wondering about the possibility of using an Instax Mini Link already with the Nintendo Switch and this new app, the answer is yes. All you have to do is download the application that is available in both the App Store and Play Store.

Instax Mini Link Special Edition pricing and availability

Fujifilm’s new printer for Nintendo Switch will go on sale later this month and will be priced at 100 euros . The special edition with that Pokémon case will be released later and will cost a little more.
