Nintendo has introduced an exciting new app for smart devices called Nintendo Today, and it’s designed to be your daily hub for all things Nintendo.

Every day, users can dive into fresh content, including the latest news, engaging videos, and fun comics with beloved Nintendo characters and games from selected franchises. This was announced just in time for the big Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 presentation, slated for Wednesday, April 2nd, where more details about the console’s successor will be accessible straight from the app.

In the words of Shigeru Miyamoto, "Since 2011, Nintendo Direct has been your faithful go-to for updates, and these have blossomed into much-anticipated events. We owe a big thanks to our audience for that."

He shared more about the vision for the app, saying, “While we keep bringing you Nintendo Direct, we’re adding a new dimension with Nintendo Today!, a smart app working as a daily calendar to deliver all sorts of Nintendo content right to your fingertips. And post the Nintendo Direct for the Nintendo Switch 2 on April 2nd, you’ll get a fresh scoop on the system every single day directly through the app.”

Here are some standout features of the app:

• Daily Updates: Stay in the loop with everything happening in the Nintendo world! From insights on the Nintendo Switch 2 system to news about your favorite characters, you’ll get a tailored experience with videos and comics daily.
