Nintendo 3DS / 2DS: Take a screenshot - Here's how
If you want to take a screenshot on your Nintendo 2DS or 3DS, this is only possible within a game. We'll show you how it's done.
Take a screenshot on the Nintendo 2DS / 3DS
In some games, you can take screenshots by pressing the L and R buttons simultaneously. Saving the screenshots on the SD card is unfortunately not possible. You can only post screenshots in the Miiverse and then download them on the PC. However, this does not work with all games.
- Go to the desired position in the game and then press the home button.
- Now tap on the Miiverse symbol, consisting of three people, in the top right of the display.
- Select the item "Post" at the top and tap the photo icon in the top right.
- Now you can select and post the desired screenshot from the touch pad or from the screen.
- To save the screenshot externally, you can log in to the computer at miiverse.nintendo.net and download the image.
