Nintendo, the gaming giant, has finally released the long-awaited Nintendo Store mobile app to iOS and Android users. Users can now easily browse Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, accessories, and other products from their phones. This new app brings together multiple features, including e-commerce, news, and gaming activity tracking, all in one place. This development significantly improves the shopping experience on mobile devices and represents a global update and rebranding of the “My Nintendo” app, which already exists in Japan.

What features does the Nintendo Store mobile app offer?

The new Nintendo Store mobile app is designed to provide users with a comprehensive experience. The app allows you to easily browse physical and digital games, consoles, amiibo, accessories, and all other Nintendo products in My Nintendo Store. It also provides real-time updates on games and events. Clicking on a product takes you to the corresponding My Nintendo Store page, meaning purchases are completed through the browser.

One of the most striking features of the app is its discount and sale notifications. Users can choose to receive instant push notifications when items on their Wish List go on sale. This feature is especially convenient for gamers who don’t want to miss out on frequent eShop sales. The app also functions as a loyalty program that allows users to earn rewards by checking in at physical Nintendo stores or events.

The Nintendo Store mobile app also introduces a significant innovation in gaming activity tracking. Users can log in with their Nintendo Accounts to track their playtime on the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch. More importantly, those who link their Nintendo Network ID (NNID) to their Nintendo Accounts can also view their gaming activity on older consoles like the 3DS and Wii U. Some sources even report that daily gaming activity logs can be viewed within the app.
