Five years after exclusively launching in Japan as the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocketgamer.biz\/nintendo-launches-my-nintendo-app-japan\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">My Nintendo<\/a>\u201d app, Nintendo has now expanded the iOS and Android experience under a new name to other regions, including the US, UK, Canada, and most of Europe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/ca\/app\/nintendo-store\/id1495746988\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">App Store<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1701640&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.nintendo.znej\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Play Store<\/a> listings, the Nintendo Store app allows users to browse and purchase Switch 2 and Switch consoles, hardware accessories, physical and digital games, and other Nintendo merchandise. The app will open a page on your device\u2019s default web browser when products are selected, rather than allow you to complete purchases in-app, but it\u2019s still a more convenient way to access the Nintendo eShop compared to manually visiting the mobile browser storefront.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">A Nintendo account and network ID are required to access some app features, including the ability to check historical gaming activity, showing what games you played, when you played them, and how long for. This includes Switch and Switch 2 data, along with the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, though the latter two consoles will only show play activity up to February 2020. Players could only previously access this information by setting up parental controls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Other features include the ability to set push notifications for when items saved to your wish list go on sale, and a news feed for the latest Nintendo games and events. The app also gives users a way to earn rewards by using it to check in at official Nintendo stores and events. This is the latest of several destination apps that Nintendo has launched for its services, joining the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/10\/30\/24284073\/nintendo-music-streaming-app-switch-online-subscribers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nintendo Music<\/a> and its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/637319\/nintendo-today-news-app\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nintendo Today newsfeed app<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nintendo has released an official Nintendo Store app, allowing more fans to access the eShop on iPhone, iPad,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2723,936,2078,213,1711,61,6931,60,43,4410,216,80],"class_list":["post-123198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-android","tag-apple","tag-apps","tag-gaming","tag-google","tag-ie","tag-ios","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-nintendo","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
