Two Ways to Extract Tomodachi Life Media From Your Switch

Nintendo blocks direct sharing of Tomodachi Life media to phones, but you can still access your screenshots and videos by pulling them to a PC: (1) USB method—Data Management > Copy to PC over USB, connect your Switch to a PC, then open the Switch/Album/Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream to save files; (2) MicroSD method—Copy All Screenshots and Videos to a microSD Express Card, remove the card, insert into a PC, and transfer. Both require a computer and bypass the in-app sharing restriction.
