Nintendo has launched a fresh smartphone app called Nintendo Today that will keep the fans updated about the latest news and events of the gaming behemoth. The app was unveiled in the just-concluded Nintendo Direct presentation and is available to download on both iOS and Android platforms. Features of the app will be available with a free Nintendo Account.
Nintendo Today is also a daily calendar and provides users with various forms of content, such as news, videos, and comics related to their favorite Nintendo game franchises. The app allows the user to customize their experience as they choose one of numerous of Nintendo’s most popular-selling franchises, such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and Pikmin, to be used as the calendar theme. This personalization also extends to the app’s widgets, which can be used to display the calendar and fresh content on the user’s home screen. Users can also customize their home screen with themed wallpapers matching their chosen series.
The app delivers day-to-day news updates about Nintendo, including upcoming game launches, game tournaments, and updates on the soon-to-be-released Nintendo Switch 2 console. Following the Switch 2 Direct on April 2, the app will have constant updates on the new console and the games. It is therefore a must-have for those who want to remain abreast of events at Nintendo.
Apart from news and updates, Nintendo Today contains a range of interesting material like video content, game tips, photo galleries, quizzes, and comics of well-known Nintendo characters. The app’s interface is designed to mimic a social media feed, where users can scroll through and engage with content that interests them.
Nintendo Today also includes an event calendar functionality, which helps users plan in advance for upcoming Nintendo Direct presentations, game releases, and in-game events. Users can sort and filter events by specific games or event categories, so they can be more organized and better informed about what Nintendo is up to.
The launch of Nintendo Today comes at a busy time for the company, with several new titles and projects announced in the latest Nintendo Direct. They include Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and Rhythm Heaven Groove, and also the launch of virtual game cards to make managing digital games easier.
Overall, Nintendo Today is a major move in Nintendo’s bid to directly engage with its users and offer them a one-stop shop for everything Nintendo. With its daily updates and customized content, the app has the potential to become a destination of choice for Nintendo fans all over the world every day.
