Nintendo has launched the Nintendo Today app, available for free on iOS and Android. The app brings the latest Nintendo news and updates directly to your smartphone. By signing in with your Nintendo Account, users can access a social-style feed with video clips, images, and concise news on game releases, in-game events, and upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations.
Designed for fans, the app offers daily updates and a dedicated calendar. It highlights key dates, including the much-anticipated reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2. Whether you seek new game news or track important events, Nintendo Today keeps you in the loop.
The app’s core functionality revolves around its animated calendar feature. This calendar shows the current date and highlights scheduled events, like Nintendo Direct broadcasts and exclusive game announcements. Users can personalize the calendar by selecting their favorite franchises, such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and Pikmin. This ensures the content aligns with their interests. A home screen widget also improves accessibility, displaying key information without needing to open the app.
During the latest Nintendo Direct, Shigeru Miyamoto introduced the app, stressing its role as a direct channel for Nintendo news. After the April 2 presentation revealing more about the Switch 2, the app will provide daily updates on the console. This strategy aims to keep fans engaged with a continuous flow of updates and exclusive content.
Nintendo Today is designed for efficiency and personalization. Its streamlined layout ensures users receive timely updates without unnecessary clutter. The ability to select specific Nintendo franchises tailors the experience to individual preferences.
