A non-limiting example game apparatus includes a display device, and a game screen is displayed on the display device. A play image including a player character, an enemy character, a ground object, a block object and a clay pipe object, for example is displayed as a game screen. If a capture instruction is input during a game play, image data corresponding to a play image at a time of input is acquired as captured image data. In the game apparatus, a reduced image of a captured image is generated and displayed in a manner superimposed on the play image. During game control processing is performed, processing that generates and displays the reduced image is performed.

Storage medium, information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing apparatus to which an input apparatus is connected through a wire or wirelessly is provided. The information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor executes an application program in accordance with an operation by a user accepted by the input apparatus, obtains update data for firmware of the input apparatus from a server through a network, and performs processing for updating the firmware of the input apparatus in response to a request from the application program while the application program is being executed. The processor suspends execution of the application program before update of the firmware and resumes execution of the application program in response to completion of update of the firmware.

Updating a firmware from a server in response to a request from an executing applicant program

An information processing system includes an operation apparatus and a main body apparatus which is capable of communicating with the operation apparatus. The operation apparatus includes a first transceiver which transmits operation data to the main body apparatus. The main body apparatus includes a memory in which an operation scheme of the operation apparatus is registered, a second transceiver which receives the operation data, and a controller. The controller registers the operation scheme of the operation apparatus in the memory as a first operation scheme when the operation data received by the second transceiver indicates a first operation and registers the operation scheme of the operation apparatus in the memory as a second operation scheme when the operation data received by the second transceiver indicates a second operation, and performs processing based on the operation scheme registered in the memory onto the operation data received by the second transceiver.

Information processing apparatus capable of achieving improved usability, method of controlling information processing apparatus, non-transitory storage medium encoded with program readable by computer of information processing apparatus, and information processing system

An information processing system includes an operation apparatus and a main body apparatus which is capable of communicating with the operation apparatus. The operation apparatus includes an operation portion and a transmitter which transmits operation data to an information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a receiver which receives operation data and a controller. The controller sets any of a first mode in which first information processing is performed based on the received operation data and a second mode in which second information processing is performed based on the operation data while a first application is executed, makes transition from execution of the first application to execution of a second application, and maintains a set mode when transition to execution of the second application is made and changes from one set mode to the other mode when a prescribed condition is satisfied.

An example information-processing system includes: at least one processor; and an input device configured to receive an input operation performed by a user directed to posting information displayed by a display. The at least one processor is configured to: display first information that is displayed by executing an application on the display, and the posting information that is posted using a posting information sharing service, and that is associated with the application; and reflect the input operation received by the input device in the posting information sharing service.
