★★★★ Rapid Dapid 6/6/2026
useless
★★★★ Lkf 5/30/2026
terrible
★★★★ Owen C 5/27/2026 v3.2.3
the best part about this app is the artwork. But, you can't screenshot and there's no download option. All of the art is available online already but you have to take so many steps to find it. What's the point of sharing art that's gone after a day.
★★★★ tanjiro Aase 5/19/2026 v3.2.3
1 star 0 Star never download it
★★★★ Hyrum Christopherson 5/5/2026
lame
★★★★ Alex Meolē 4/29/2026 v3.2.1
loved this app. they post a lot of cool artwork and I used a lot of them as wallpaper. then they took away the ability to take screenshots so now it's pretty much useless
★★★★ Ben Warner 4/22/2026 v3.2.0
Can't screenshot the awesome art work and needs Metroid theme
★★★★ Dawson Church 4/21/2026 v3.1.10
Announcing new games and projects in Today has seemingly taken the position of Nintendo Directs, which would be a shame because it's a much less exciting and less accessible way of going about it. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if the app worked properly, but notifications are inconsistent and unreliable.
★★★★ Justin Walker 4/21/2026 v3.1.10
While it was nice at first, I'm starting to really dislike how Nintendo is using this as a substitution for Nintendo Directs. This just isn't a good way to reveal games and new trailers.
★★★★ Chandru 4/20/2026
worst
★★★★ ̰ 4/15/2026 v3.1.10
Eh
★★★★ Jake M 4/9/2026
Had to download for news
★★★★ Adrian 4/9/2026 v3.1.10
i just want to scan a qr code man why even do this gimmicky nonsense
★★★★ Stephen 4/8/2026 v3.1.3
I nearly deleted the app. But no screenshots on anything is a big no no to me. I can't believe it. That is way too strict. Now I can't share anything with friends or family. Why are you stubborn in thinking that's a good idea for anyone? This is completely insane. I might really still delete the app over it if you don't change that back soon. You do NOT have the right to stop us taking screenshots to share with family and friends. Dictatorship is bad.
★★★★ Traceyann Kalebaugh 4/8/2026 v3.1.3
not what exactly thought
★★★★ Althunibat 4/6/2026
App was bad
★★★★ Tiffani Raber 4/6/2026 v3.1.2
app is stupid, all phones have all this already. should have had the games.
★★★★ Thomas Holzbart 4/5/2026
Why can't they juat post on Twitter/YouTube luke they've always done? This App is unnecessary...
★★★★ Yashwardhan Singh Jhala 4/5/2026
idk. don't worry about me, I just hate nintendo.
★★★★ PBJA89 4/4/2026
Pointless app
★★★★ Luke Henderson 4/3/2026 v3.1.2
Bumps games to $70 & $80 for physical, locks/bricks your switch if it detects an error so you can't ever use it, eshop flooded with games with sexual images, spamware and charging Japan $320 and the rest of the world upwards of $450 with even physical games now needing to be downloaded when they are put into the machine... it's amazing. people don't have enough common sense to stop being Fanboys. I did, you should too! This isn't the same Nintendo
★★★★ Jobayer Hossain 4/2/2026
I thought this is a game. but this a news feed for Nintendo games
★★★★ Nick Columb 4/2/2026 v3.1.1
literally every single time i want to use this app it needs an update. the absolute worst way to get news on nintendo games
★★★★ Vaynard Lastheart888 4/1/2026 v3.1.1
Weird app. Not usefull at all
★★★★ ben 3/31/2026 v2.0.0
they literally release updates all the time like more than weekly, and for some reason that means you're not allowed to use the app until you update it. so I usually can't use it whenever I think to, despite the fact that itt essentially an online only webpage and realistically shouldn't require all that it also lacks in basic player function and utility you would expect from a social platform, like at least let me save images when you show my cool art
★★★★ Link SSZ (Nintendian) 3/30/2026 v3.1.1
Can't even take a screenshot from the app, Nintendo are overly paranoid and protective of everything.
★★★★ Patete 3/29/2026
"This app doesn't allow screenshots"? lol
★★★★★ Mikey Kliss 6/13/2026 v3.3.0
gives you a place to "customize" your experience by picking the series you like. then completely disregard it and fill your feed with the stuff you didn't pick. not much to do either
★★★★★ Karlota Lopez 6/10/2026 v3.2.10
Please fix the calendar widget for Honor phones and my life is yours.
★★★★★ Kevin John Flores Castaneda 5/9/2026 v3.2.2
it's an alright 👍🏽 app,,
★★★★★ Nathaniel 4/29/2026 v3.2.1
Nintendo News, game info, and more!! *update* Changed from 5 stars to 4 stars: "Games released on this day" show the Japan release date with North America in a smaller font with often a completely different and more information pertinent to my region and what I remember in my youth. Add an option to choose location, i.e. North America, Europe, etc. *update 2* Downgrading to 2 stars from 4. The app not allowing fans to screengrab pictures of their favorite characters, selfish, poor move, Nintendo
★★★★★ T H 4/24/2026 v3.2.1
this app really doesn't do anything special & you also have to update it like twice a week 💀
★★★★★ Stacer 4/23/2026 v3.2.1
I CAN'T DEREGISTER MY STOLEN SWITCH LITE FROM MY ACCOUNT. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND TRIED EVERYTHING. I HAVE A NEW SWITCH OLED ON THE WAY SO I WANT THIS MESS FIXED.
★★★★★ Aidyn Syphers 4/22/2026 v3.2.0
This app keeps having so-called "unknown errors" I am unable to resolve. I have cleared the cache, Uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but nothing works.
★★★★★ Constant Screaming 4/17/2026 v3.1.10
I can no longer take screenshots in most of the app. What the hell man. That is basic functionality. Also it is literally worse for Nintendo itself since it prevents social advertising? Weird and bad decision all around. A source of news is nice, but what's the point of news if it can't be shared?
★★★★★ kris matt 4/1/2026
poor
