Here are the details of what was announced at the Nintendo Direct event.
 
Nintendo Today: Details
 
Available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, this new app will help consumers stay on top of the latest Nintendo news.
 
This app comes with an interactive animated calendar that users can personalise with themes inspired by Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, and more. It also offers customisable home screen widgets in 4x2 or 4x3 formats.
Another key feature is a daily news feed, keeping users updated with the latest from Nintendo, including Switch 2 announcements, game-related news, videos, and comics. While additional content may be included, specific details remain unclear.
