Nintendo has launched a new app called Nintendo Today, directly from the creators behind Super Mario Bros., designed to deliver Nintendo news straight to fans with unprecedented immediacy. During the March 2025 Nintendo Direct, gaming icon Shigeru Miyamoto unveiled this innovative application, which is now available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. This app is a must-have for avid Nintendo enthusiasts, offering a range of exciting features.
Nintendo Today acts as a comprehensive hub, featuring a daily calendar and a news feed that provides real-time updates to players. Miyamoto highlighted that following the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, users can log into the app to access all the latest information, with daily updates promised thereafter. This approach is more direct than traditional Nintendo Directs, keeping fans engaged even in the absence of major announcements.
As you open the app each day, you'll be greeted by beloved characters from Mario, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, and more, setting a delightful tone for your day. The feed is not just limited to news; it also includes exclusive Nintendo-themed content. Examples showcased during the Nintendo Direct include a Pikmin 4 comic titled "Too Stuck to Pluck" and insightful "Pearls of Wisdom" from Animal Crossing's Pascal, the philosophical otter.
While Nintendo Today may not have been the major reveal of a new Zelda or Super Smash Bros. game that many fans were anticipating, it offers a valuable new platform for staying connected with the world of Nintendo.
