Nintendo has released a Nintendo Store app for smartphones, further opening up their console and software ecosystem.
The new Nintendo Store app is now available for both iOS (via the App Store) and Android (via Google Play), enabling users to browse their Nintendo systems, accessories, games, and merchandise.
Previously only available in Japan, the new app has been rebranded and launched globally. Users will be able to see their game activity as far back as the Nintendo 3DS.
Here’s a rundown on the app:
Nintendo Store is a free app for browsing Nintendo systems, accessories, games, and merchandise. You can use this app to access all the features below!
Features
- Shop on My Nintendo Store – You can use this app to browse Nintendo Switch™ 2 / Nintendo Switch systems and accessories, physical and digital games, and other Nintendo products and merchandise—and then jump directly to My Nintendo™ Store to make purchases (Note: Physical products are not available in all countries/regions).
- Get the latest info on games – You can stay up-to-date with the latest news on Nintendo games, events, and more!
