Nintendo has unveiled a fresh new venture called Nintendo Today. This innovative app, designed for smart devices, operates like a daily calendar, bringing something extra to your routine.
Each day, the app delivers a diverse array of content inspired by your most beloved Nintendo games and characters from various franchises. You can expect up-to-the-minute news, intriguing videos, and creative comic strips tailored to your interests.
Building on the buzz of the upcoming Nintendo Direct event—in particular, the Nintendo Switch 2 segment airing this Wednesday, April 2—users will find all the latest updates about the new console directly through this app.
Reflecting on the journey since Nintendo Direct started in 2011, Shigeru Miyamoto shared, "We’ve been able to connect directly with our audiences, and these presentations have become something many eagerly anticipate. We’re truly grateful for that."
Continuing this philosophy, Miyamoto elaborated, "While we’ll keep holding Nintendo Direct events, we’re excited to introduce a new way of bringing you information ‘directly’ through the Nintendo Today app, a living calendar rich with Nintendo news and character stories every day. Following the April 2nd Direct, expect daily updates on the Nintendo Switch 2 delivered straight to your device."
Let’s delve into what makes the app stand out:
-
Daily Updates: Dive into all things Nintendo daily! Whether you’re looking for news about the Nintendo Switch 2, tidbits on your favorite characters, or a dose of fun with videos and comics, the app personalizes content just for you.
