Nintendo Today is a groundbreaking app launched by the creators of Super Mario Bros., designed to deliver Nintendo news straight to fans in a more direct and engaging way than ever before. Unveiled by the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto at the tail end of the March 2025 Nintendo Direct, this app is now available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play, offering a plethora of exciting features for Nintendo enthusiasts.
Serving as a comprehensive hub, Nintendo Today functions as both a daily calendar and a news feed, providing fans with up-to-the-minute updates. Following the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, users can log into the app to access all the latest news, with Miyamoto promising daily updates thereafter. This approach offers a more immediate connection to Nintendo's world, keeping fans informed even outside of major announcements.
The app goes beyond just news delivery, featuring beloved characters from franchises like Mario, Pikmin, and Animal Crossing, who will greet users each day. In addition to news, the feed will be enriched with unique Nintendo-themed content. Highlights from the Nintendo Direct included a new Pikmin 4 comic titled "Too Stuck to Pluck" and "Pearls of Wisdom" from Animal Crossing's Pascal, the insightful otter.
While Nintendo Today may not be the major reveal like a new Zelda or Super Smash Bros. game that many fans were hoping for, it represents a significant new channel for staying connected with the Nintendo universe.
