Nintendo Store App Arrives on iPhone

Nintendo has brought its anticipated Nintendo Store app to iPhone and iPad, creating an easier way for fans to engage with their beloved games and consoles. With the app, the Nintendo eShop is now more accessible to mobile users, complemented by a few features that enthusiasts will find appealing.

Nintendo Store App Now on iPhone, iPad, and Android

Previously available only in Japan under the name My Nintendo for almost five years, the app has been introduced globally with the new title, Nintendo Store. Users in territories like the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the UK, and much of Europe can now access it on iOS and Android platforms.

Through this app, users are able to browse Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 consoles, in addition to digital and physical games, accessories, and branded merchandise. While actual purchases still occur via Nintendo’s web platform, the app redirects users to a browser for checkout, the browsing process is notably more efficient than manually navigating the website.

View Your Game History Across Consoles

A notable feature of the app is the ability to check your play activity across different Nintendo systems. By signing in with a Nintendo Account, users can review their gaming data for the Switch and Switch 2, and even delve into past play records from Nintendo 3DS and Wii U consoles as far back as February 2020. This function allows players, for the first time, to conveniently access their comprehensive gaming history without relying on parental control apps or third-party solutions.

News, Rewards, and Notifications for Fans

Beyond acting as a storefront, the app functions as a central hub for Nintendo fans. Users can:

• Stay updated with news about upcoming games and events
• Receive alerts when items on their wish list go on sale
• Collect rewards by checking in at official Nintendo locations or events

These features enhance the app beyond just being an online store, transforming it into part of Nintendo’s expanding lineup of lifestyle apps, which includes Nintendo Music and Nintendo Today.

Available Now Worldwide

The Nintendo Store app is accessible free of charge on the App Store and Google Play Store. In Japan, it takes the place of the older My Nintendo app introduced in 2020. With this worldwide release, Nintendo is working to unify its mobile outreach and provide players with a single location for exploring products, staying informed, and tracking their gaming statistics, all directly from their mobile devices.

Ultimately, it’s a modest yet meaningful advance that brings Nintendo fans closer to their favorite games, without needing a console in hand.
