FUJIFILM Corporation, in collaboration with Nintendo Co., Ltd. continues to revolutionise how gamers can share the fun of their game play, with the significant addition of Splatoon 3 characters as well as a variety of unique features in the FUJIFILM INSTAX Mini Link for Nintendo Switch App. With the App, users can share their favourite character moments with fellow gamers digitally or by printing a custom, one-of-a-kind INSTAX photo from their FUJIFILM INSTAX mini Link series Smartphone Printer.
“The addition of the popular Splatoon 3 to the range of Nintendo Switch games that connect with our INSTAX mini Link series of Smartphone Printers is exciting, as is the new INSTAXAiR App feature that allow gamers to use character-themed effects and special frames that will appear on the printed INSTAX images,” said Shin Udono, Senior Vice President, Imaging Solutions, FUJIFILM Europe.
The free, downloadable INSTAX mini Link for Nintendo Switch App allows filters and frames to be added to screenshots taken using the Nintendo Switch system’s capture function, which can be transmitted to your Smartphone and then printed onto FUJIFILM INSTAX film to create instant photos via the INSTAX mini Link series of Smartphone Printers. A simple QR Code scan of the Nintendo Switch game screen using the INSTAX mini Link for Nintendo Switch App on your Smartphone allows the image to be printed with a variety of frames and stickers based on characters from Nintendo Switch games including Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Mario, New Pokémon Snap, and now, Splatoon 3.
Alongside the updated app features including Splatoon 3 characters and adding a variety of frames and filters to screenshots of players in gaming mode, INSTAX AiR previously launched alongside the latest mini Link 2 offers fun effects to add to your instant photo of bubbles, petals, neon, spray paint, or a glitter look by simply holding the printer, pressing the feature button on top, and aiming the side LED to draw in the air.
Users of the INSTAXAiR feature can even record a video of the drawing and share the moment as a printable QR code that appears on the printed INSTAX photo for recipients to view, download or share the video created.
In conjunction with the launch of the new INSTAX mini Link for Nintendo Switch App, FUJIFILM is also introducing a new color variation of the FUJIFILM INSTAX mini Link 2 Smartphone Printer, “Special Edition, Clay White”. While using the Clay White color as a base, black accents have been added around the front power button as well as the film ejection slot to create a more stylish look.
A bundle kit will also be offered that includes the Special Edition Clay White INSTAX mini Link 2 and a silicone case featuring Splatoon 3 characters.
“With this and every FUJIFILM INSTAX product, our goal is to continue to innovate, delight, and exceed the expectations of our consumers,” said Udono. “As the gaming community continues to evolve, we look forward to evolving with them.”
The new Special Edition Clay White INSTAX mini Link 2 Smartphone Printer is priced at £114.99. The bundle kit, consisting of the Special Edition Clay White INSTAX mini Link Smartphone printer and Splatoon 3 silicone case, retails at £129.99.
