Nintendo has launched a new app for smart devices focused on bringing news and updates directly to consumers.

The Nintendo Today app, announced during a Nintendo Direct broadcast yesterday, features a calendar providing daily updates about the firm’s games, franchises, Directs, and in-game events.

These features will be personalised to users, and the app will also provide updates about the upcoming Switch 2.

The app is free to download from Apple’s App Store and Google Play. A Nintendo account is required for consumers to use the app.

Nintendo Today can be displayed on home screens with related widgets, and will also include comics and wallpapers from featured Nintendo games.
