Topic: Nintendo Store

out of nowhere, we have an app that can almost sorta free you from nintendo.com.
you can browse the my nintendo store (can't purchase from within the app though!) among other things, including seeing your entire play history for some reason? i now know i got my 3ds on christmas in 2015 alongside kirby triple deluxe. neat i guess?

this was originally the "my nintendo app", which... makes sense i suppose

Oh that's pretty nice!

...But now we've got 4 damn apps on the go😭

for the record, when i mention the "my nintendo app", that was something japan-exclusive aaaaallll the way back in 2020.
i can only assume someone reminded the people that made that app that it existed and decided it made sense to rebrand close to the switch 2's launch.

looking through bluesky, i get the idea that people hate going through nintendo.com and im not entirely sure why? like everything runs better here but it wasn't that bad just going on the website

This app is amazing. Play history of your 3ds and Wii u too.

I love that we can see daily playtime but ... why is Nintendo continuing their insane rounding?

I have a game with 229 hours of playtime. What I see is:
On Switch: '225 or more'
On the new app: 'over 200 hours'???

Why are they rounding to the nearest 50?

They give daily times so in theory rather than accepting their 200, I could scroll down and add up the times for each of the 144 days I have played that game. I am not going to do that but it should be noted that each day rounds down to 15 minute intervals so even if I did add them all up, the result could be up to 35 hours off. Why oh why can't Nintendo just give us an accurate total sum? I feel like the difference between 14.9 and 10 hours is actually a pretty major difference.

Also, of all the apps and places where Daily Playtime could be, being in the Store app is a very weird choice.

Different note, but the wishlist on this app is weird.

The app says there are 28 games from my wishlist on sale.

The Switch 2 eShop says there are 34 games from my wishlist on sale.

i would've said it was a server thing, but im fairly certain playtime on switch is saved locally. i don't get it either.

Anyone know how to get this app to update the play activity? It updated 2 days ago when I installed it but it hasn't added any playtime since then.

The Play Activity that includes 3DS and Wii U is the real highlight of the app.

Best thing is that it can be organized by "first played order", which helps me visualize the order in which I got games.

Browsing through my eShop wishlist quickly is an added bonus.
