Topic: Nintendo Today App

Sick and tired of the current state of social media, Nintendo basically threw their hands up and said "FINE! I'll build my own news and info distribution app - with blackjack, and plumbers!"

discuss.

Have any comics been published so far?

@Breeze23 haven't seen anything yet.

I guess it's Apple only atm cause not even Google Play link whle googling for it not appears for it yet!
Edit: found app only trough Google Play link for Nintendo apps list! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nintendo.znsa

@Dev-N the most impactful thing the Switch's news section gave was Amelia N., and they haven't done anything with her in a while

I don't know how different everyone's feed is compared to one another, (I guess it depends what franchises you chose to show up, to which I just clicked all of them) but today they showed off some Metroid Dread concept art.

I'm not sure if the art had been released previously but if not, this is really cool and hopefully we'll get other stuff like this. I would kill for some BTS music recording sessions for...well anything really!

This is FASCINATING!
To me the 'select which game series you are most interested in' ordered list is Nintendo telling us their perceived ranking of their top franchises!
Maybe I'm wildly off base here but it seems very feasible to me.

@SViper Thank you for the link! I was so perplexed that I could not find it.

Did not know if I wanted to use the Mario or Splatoon theme, but I went with the latter. Just got greeted with Pearl’s animation from one of the live concerts this morning too, and I’ll admit the animation made me smile even though the Color Pulse remix in it sucked.

They appear to have just announced the release date of the Zelda movie (March 26, 2027) on the app. Or was this already known?

This is so suspicious lmao. On one hand it shows that Nintendo are serious about giving news through the app but on the other... why not announce this big news in the Direct?

@LastFootnote It's a new announcement.

Man, I miss Amelia. She's a fun, cute character, and the articles are actually pretty funny. Maybe we'll see her for the Switch Virtual Cards update.

Ya know, what if the News page on Switch 2 ends up merging with Nintendo Today?

Anyone tried using the widget?

For me, when it tries updating for the day it just says 'Data could not be retrieved' with a button underneath to 'import' it but doesn't do anything when pressed.
It eventually updates but it's just a bit annoying as you're left with a big blank void on your home screen for the whole morning!

Would be interested to know if other people are experiencing this, I'm on Android btw.

I didn’t get it but a new Splatoon choreography was added: Pearl during Anarchy Rainbow ft. Off the Hook

i know im late to the party, but i finally downloaded it (my storage is alas, full again.) and its honestly a very charming app even if its a bit anticlimactic. i love the animations, and the widgets are so cute! i wish u could add your own events without connecting it to the calendar on your phone though. but still it has a lot of potential!

I gave it a 7/10. I downloaded it on launch day, It's a solid app with a few minutes of content every day, and the art and music videos are cool. Back in the early days, I was considering giving up on it, because of all the glitches I was experiencing. But I'm glad I hung around, since all of the glitches I was experiencing were completely fixed by the time two months had passed. Is it the greatest thing mankind has ever come up with? No. But is it a nice time killer for a few minutes every day? Heck yes. And the potential for more news like the Zelda movie release date or the announcement of Splatoon Raiders is worth sticking around for!

I used to look at the app daily for all the cute little art things they added as well as pre-launch Switch 2 tidbits. But lately it's mostly just advertisements plus occasional announcements I see on Nintendo Life first so I rarely open it anymore.

i for one love the widgets, and how you can choose which series is featured on them , but i really want more themes. kirby would make my day better with his little arms and cheery smile.
