Nintendo has officially launched its Nintendo Store app worldwide on mobile devices outside of Japan this week. The app, previously exclusive to Japan, is now available globally for download on Apple’s App Store and Android’s Google Play. This launch opens up convenient access to Nintendo games and apps, allowing users to purchase and queue up downloads to their registered consoles right from their mobile devices.
The heart of the new app is access to the My Nintendo Store, where users can log in with their Nintendo account and directly buy Nintendo products and merchandise. Please note, physical merchandise availability may vary by region, so it’s worth checking what’s available in your area before making any purchases.
Beyond buying games and products, the Nintendo Store app offers several useful features for fans. Users will receive updates on the latest game releases, store news, and sales, ensuring they never miss out on special deals. If your console is linked to your Nintendo account, you can also review your recent play activity directly within the app.
One particularly intriguing feature is the ability to check in at Nintendo events. While details are currently limited, Nintendo has indicated—based on information from the app store listings—that fans will be able to use the app to check in at special events such as game launches at the Nintendo Store in New York City or the Super Nintendo World attraction at Universal Studios theme parks. This feature could grant access to exclusive rewards or bonuses for event attendance, making it a must-have app for any dedicated Nintendo enthusiast.
With its versatile shopping options, real-time news updates, and innovative event features, the Nintendo Store app promises to become an essential tool for Nintendo fans around the world.
