  • Go to your album and select the desired screenshot, then press A or touch “Sharing and Editing”.
    • From this screen you can either select “Post” and send it/them to Facebook or Twitter and download them from there or select “Send to Smartphone”. For best results, choose the latter.
  • From the following, you can choose to either send one or more than one (more than one is not an option for videos).
  • Either way, the next screen will assist in connecting to the Switch’s ad-hoc Wi-Fi hotspot.
    • Scan the QR code and connect to the hotspot.
  • If you can’t scan QR codes, press the “+” button or touch “Trouble connecting?” for the hotspot info and connect to it yourself. The password is random, but the SSID will always be the same.
    • Your device does not have to be a phone. It can be anything with Wi-Fi and the ability to download images and videos, even a laptop or PC.
  • Once you connect, the screen will change. Scan the new QR code. This one opens your web browser to the Switch’s web interface.
    • Note: your device will not have internet access, so if it asks you if you want to stay connected to this Wi-Fi, click yes.
  • If you can’t scan the QR code, press the “+” button or touch “Trouble connecting?”. This will tell you where to point your browser to. It’ll probably be “http://192.168.0.1/index.html” like in my screenshot below.
  • The page contains linked thumbnails of your selected screenshots. Just download them.
  • Go back to your Switch and press the Home or B button or touch “Back” or “End” to disconnect. Your device will switch back to the previous connection. If not, you know what to do.
  • Ironically, I had to take the above screenshots with my phone because the Switch won’t allow you to screenshot system menus.

Guardian Tales is a great game. 8/10 stars. It is a free RPG available on the Nintendo Switch, Android, and Apple. I, however, am not here to review the game, I’m here to point out key differences between the Switch and Android versions (I don’t have an Apple device, so I can’t comment on that version except in regards to the coupons).
