Nintendo Rolls Out Global Nintendo Store App With Granular Play History

Purchases still route to the web, reflecting Nintendo's cautious mobile strategy.

Overview

  • The free app is live on iOS and Android in the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and many European countries, replacing Japan’s My Nintendo app.
  • Users can browse hardware, games, and merch, manage wishlists, get news and sale alerts, and check in at stores and events for rewards, but checkout opens in a browser and installs are not triggered on consoles.
  • A Play Activity section shows detailed session-level history for Switch and Switch 2, offering far more granularity than on-console estimates.
  • 3DS and Wii U play data appears only for activity logged through February 2020 and requires linking a Nintendo Network ID to a Nintendo Account.
  • Coverage ties the launch to Nintendo’s latest results, which report Switch 2 hardware sales exceeding 10 million units as of September 30.
