I’m really confused about why Nintendo Today seems to be a flop. This app was created to provide fans with direct information from Nintendo, but it feels like we’re still hunting for news through various websites and social media instead. Why isn’t Nintendo utilizing this app to clear up misinformation and engage their audience better? It seems like a great opportunity for them, yet it’s almost like they’re ignoring it. What do you all think about this communication breakdown?

Honestly, it feels like Nintendo doesn’t have enough substantial news to fill this app on a daily basis. Most of the updates are for very specific audiences, like die-hard fans or news outlets, which makes it less appealing to casual gamers.
I think this app could work if they focused on actual community engagement. Instead, it feels like they’re just pushing advertisements rather than giving us real news or dialogue.
For real! They need to start using it as a platform for real interaction, not just a channel for marketing.
Their approach seems to involve waiting until they have something ‘big’ to announce. So they might be focusing on hype rather than consistent engagement, which isn’t very effective.
It’s weird, though—I’d honestly just prefer to see regular updates instead of waiting around for vague announcements.
Yeah, I think they really should have merged it with the Nintendo Switch Online app. If they combined features, it would be more functional and actually worth checking regularly.
Exactly! Right now it feels like there are obsolete sections across multiple apps instead of one comprehensive app that serves all needs.
Right? Like, they could have informed people about the new Zelda amiibos or even basic game release info right in the app, but it seems to be empty a lot of the time.
