There's a Nintendo Direct app now: Miyamoto himself reveals Nintendo Today to beam "daily" Switch 2 news straight into your eyeballs, and it's out today

Shigeru Miyamoto points to the Nintendo Today app.

The final "one more thing" announcement during the Nintendo Direct for March 2025 wasn't a game at all - instead, it was a new app called Nintendo Today that's basically set to function as a never-ending Direct.

"Get updates on all things Nintendo," as the company explains on its official site. "Whether it's news about the Nintendo Switch 2 system and video games, info about your favorite characters, or videos and comic strips - you'll get personalized fun every day."

The app hits Google Play and the iOS App Store today, and will require a Nintendo account to use. In a press release, Nintendo says that the app will begin to feature information about its upcoming console starting after the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2.

The app features a daily calendar with a variety of themes including Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, and Animal Crossing. A built-in event schedule will also provide info on "Nintendo Direct presentations, game releases, in-game events, and more." You'll be able to customize this schedule to your preferences.

Nintendo repeatedly notes that personalization is a big factor in the app, so you'll have some control over what crosses your feed. In addition to whatever proper news the app will include, it'll also feature a fair bit of straight Nintendo-themed fun. The trailer shows off a Pikmin comic called "too stuck to pluck" and a few "pearls of wisdom" from Animal Crossing's Pascal.

Here are all of the upcoming Switch games you need to know about.
