Nintendo enthusiasts have a new way to stay updated with the latest from the Super Mario Bros. company thanks to the freshly launched Nintendo Today app. Announced by the legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto at the tail end of the March 2025 Nintendo Direct, this innovative app is now available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. Designed to serve as a comprehensive hub for Nintendo aficionados, the app promises to deliver a daily dose of news and updates directly to fans' smartphones.
The Nintendo Today app functions as a dynamic calendar and news platform, ensuring that fans receive the latest information as soon as it's released. Miyamoto highlighted its utility by noting that following next week's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, users can log into the app to access all related updates and news on a daily basis. This approach is more immediate than the traditional Nintendo Direct format and aims to keep the community engaged with regular content, even outside of major announcements.
Beyond just news, the app offers a delightful user experience with characters like Mario, Pikmin, and Animal Crossing's beloved figures greeting users each day. The content stream will feature not only updates but also Nintendo-themed entertainment, such as the Pikmin 4 comic "Too Stuck to Pluck" and insightful "Pearls of Wisdom" from Animal Crossing's Pascal.
While some fans might have been hoping for major reveals like new Zelda or Super Smash Bros. titles, Nintendo Today represents an exciting new avenue for continuous engagement with the Nintendo universe. For those interested in learning more about other announcements from the March 2025 Nintendo Direct, including updates on Metroid, Pokémon, and more, you can find additional information here.
