3DS Capture Card

[spence88]

Hey guys, anyone of you here have a capture card?
How does it work? Do I just need to plug it on my PC and start recording? I hear it requires a pretty beefy setup, but looking at the 3DS' resolution it doesn't seem so. I guess a decent hard drive would be enough?

I'm currently saving money for it. I want to buy one before Sun and Moon comes out, so I can record any crazy or epic moments (like a shiny encounter or some weird new mechanic) when I play. But it costs around $500 if I'm not mistaken so I don't think I can make it before the year ends.
I'll still do my best though!

If I was rich, I'd buy it for you.

So it's simple really: Make me rich and I'll buy you a $500 thing.

Perfect logic. Now why didn't I think of that?
Athough I wish I can do that. But then again, I'd just make myself rich!

thats the first i hear of this. What exactly is a capture card? I have a bunch of pics on my 3ds of my poor rabbit that died last year that i'd like to import on my computer. Yes I'm serious.

Capture Card - A device that allows you to record your gameplay videos to your PC. Some are internal, and some external. I already have one for my Wii U but it's an external device so it doesn't cost that much, unlike the 3DS capture card which is an internal one, hence the cost.
Man, it would be really nice to record your 3DS gameplay videos.
