Saving Clips

[SandwichM8]

Has Nintendo given us any reasoning as to why we can't save our clips to SD or upload them without having to spend $200 on a capture card?

Also, how awesome would it be to see this in the future, even if its with a fee.

I personally would love the idea but from how the Smash replays work, I don't see it possible.

Replays aren't save as actual videos as that would take up too much space over time. Instead, replays are saved as their input data from the match (what buttons you pressed at x time for example) and the game engine replicates the match by syncing the input date with the engine thus you get the whole match played like it was when you actually played it.

Entirely I don't think the 3DS has enough power to even encode a smash match into a playable video playback format but that's just a random guess x)

Though the idea would be great as it would save not having to buy your own capture card and let everyone upload what they want.

Very good reasoning. I was researching if it was possible without asking and I never got anything until this. It does sound very complicated. Maybe a future ssb 3ds hack can resolve this?
