Nintendo has officially launched its Nintendo Store app globally on mobile devices outside of Japan this week, opening up new convenience for fans and gamers around the world. Previously available only in Japan, the app is now accessible through both Apple’s App Store and Android’s Google Play for users worldwide.
With the Nintendo Store app, users can easily purchase Nintendo games and apps directly from their phones or tablets. Once purchased, these games can be queued up for download to linked and registered Nintendo consoles, streamlining the entire process of acquiring new titles.
The app’s main attraction is seamless access to the My Nintendo Store. Here, users can log into their Nintendo account to make direct purchases of digital games, Nintendo products, and official merchandise. However, Nintendo cautions that not all physical merchandise may be available in all regions, so availability may vary.
Beyond shopping, the Nintendo Store app keeps users informed about the latest game releases, upcoming sales, and important store news. If your console is linked to your Nintendo account, you can even review your recent play activity right from the app, providing a handy overview of your gaming habits.
One standout feature that Nintendo fans will appreciate is the ability to check in at special events through the app. While Nintendo has yet to provide detailed information, the app’s description hints at check-in functionality for official events, such as game launches at the Nintendo Store in New York City or experiences at Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios theme parks. Attendees may be able to use the app to register their attendance and potentially earn exclusive rewards and bonuses.
With this global rollout, the Nintendo Store app is positioned to become an essential companion for Nintendo enthusiasts, blending digital convenience with real-world fan experiences.
