Nintendo Launches Global Nintendo Store App for Mobile Devices
Nintendo has officially rolled out its Nintendo Store app globally, making it available on mobile devices outside of Japan for the first time this week. The app can now be downloaded via Apple’s App Store and Android’s Google Play, expanding access to Nintendo’s digital storefront for users worldwide.
Previously exclusive to Japan, the Nintendo Store app allows users to purchase Nintendo games and apps directly from their mobile devices. Downloads can be queued up for their registered consoles, streamlining the process of acquiring new content. The primary feature of the app is access to the My Nintendo Store, where users can log into their Nintendo account and purchase games, downloadable content, and Nintendo merchandise. It’s worth noting, however, that physical merchandise availability may vary depending on your region.
In addition to shopping, the app helps users stay up to date with the latest news on games and sales in the store. If your Nintendo console is linked to your Nintendo account, you can review your play activity right from the app—providing insights into your recent gameplay and achievements.
One of the most exciting new aspects of the Nintendo Store app is the ability to check in at events. According to Nintendo’s app store descriptions, users will be able to check in at special Nintendo events, such as game release celebrations at flagship stores like Nintendo New York or attractions like Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios theme parks. While details are limited at this time, it’s expected that the check-in feature will offer opportunities to collect rewards and bonuses for attendance, making the app a must-have for dedicated Nintendo fans.
With its combination of shopping, updates, play activity tracking, and exclusive event features, the new Nintendo Store app aims to be an essential tool for players, collectors, and fans around the world.
