Nintendo Today is the latest mobile app launched directly by Nintendo, offering fans a more immediate and personalized way to stay updated with the latest news from the iconic game company. Announced unexpectedly by legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto during the March 2025 Nintendo Direct, this new application is now available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, bringing a fresh wave of features tailored for dedicated Nintendo enthusiasts.

Positioned as an all-in-one content hub, Nintendo Today functions as both a daily news feed and interactive calendar, delivering updates in real-time straight to your smartphone. Miyamoto demonstrated how the app will serve as a follow-up platform after major events—such as the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct—allowing users to access post-event summaries and ongoing coverage with new information arriving each day.

Unlike traditional Nintendo Direct presentations that bundle major announcements into one viewing event, Nintendo Today offers a more continuous stream of updates—even on days when there’s no blockbuster reveal. As part of the experience, players are greeted daily by beloved characters from franchises such as Mario, Pikmin, and Animal Crossing. The app’s content feed doesn’t just include official news but also exclusive themed material like the Pikmin 4 comic “Too Stuck To Pluck” and “Pearls of Wisdom,” a quirky Animal Crossing feature narrated by Pascal the otter.

While Nintendo Today may not have been the highly anticipated Zelda or Super Smash Bros. reveal many were hoping for, it still represents a valuable addition to the ways fans can engage with Nintendo’s evolving universe.
