Nintendo has launched a new app for Android and iOS devices called the Nintendo Store, and as the name of the app suggests, it’s a digital storefront where you can browse through a wide variety of Nintendo-related products. Whether you’re looking for that next game, an accessory for your brand-new Nintendo Switch 2, or you’re just curious what kind of merchandise Nintendo has available, the Nintendo Store app will likely have it listed.

The launch of the Nintendo Store app feels like a long time coming. It’s something that Sony has made available since the PlayStation app that launched alongside the PS5 several years ago. A major difference here is that the Nintendo Store is mostly just the Nintendo Store. Although there are a few things in the app that aren’t purchasable products.

The Nintendo Store app launch blends a product storefront with a news hub

What’s neat about the Nintendo Store app is that it isn’t just a storefront for selling Switch and Switch 2 games and Nintendo products and merchandise. It offers a few extra features that tie into the Nintendo experience as a whole. For example, there’s a news tab you can jump to if you feel like reading up on the latest Nintendo news. News categories can even be broken down into All News, Game News, Events, and Promotions, just in case you’re looking for something specific.

Additionally, there’s a profile tab you can click on that has links to your purchase history, your funds and payment methods, and you can even see play activity. In fact, clicking on play activity shows you recent activity, which is just the last few games you played and how long you played them for, as well as when you played them. You can even tap on “view more” to see a more detailed breakdown of your play activity, including days you didn’t play any games.

There’s a tab for your wish list as well, just in case you’re browsing the store and add something to the wish list, and want to check on it later. This can be handy if you see a game you might want to buy in the future, as it could help prevent you from forgetting it. The Nintendo Store app is available from Google Play on Android devices or the App Store on iOS devices.

Those who still have to purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 can rest easy, for the time being, as Nintendo expects the console's price to remain stable, unless significant changes occur. Speaking during a shareholders' Q&A session, Nintendo's president Shuntaru Furukawa touched upon the system's price, saying that the company expects to "maintain the current level of profitability for hardware for the time being unless there are significant changes in external factors, such as a shift in tariff assumptions, or other unexpected events." While the danger of a price increase caused by the rising prices of certain components remains a risk, […]

Nintendo is very optimistic about unit sales for the Switch 2 in its current fiscal year, thanks to the increasing popularity of the new handheld console. The Nintendo Switch 2 was released in June 2025 and immediately gained traction as fans had been waiting quite a long time for the Switch follow-up. The hype was real, and anticipation only grew as time went on, with month after month of no official word from Nintendo on the Switch 2’s release date and pricing. When all of that information finally came, all there was left to do for consumers was wait until they could buy one. All that was left for Nintendo to do was wait for the money to roll in. And it has been, it seems.

As CNBC reports, Nintendo is confident that Switch 2 unit sales are going to continue increasing, so the company has increased its forecast for the number of hardware units it’ll be able to get into people’s homes by the end of the fiscal year.

Nintendo Switch 2 unit sales are forecasted to reach 19 million units by the end of next March

Nintendo’s initial forecast was that it would sell about 15 million units by the end of fiscal year 2026. This period ends at the end of March next year. What’s worth noting is that the Switch 2 is brushing past the original Nintendo Switch in terms of hardware sales. Specifically, in its first four months on the market. The original Nintendo Switch launched in early March 2017. So, it had more time in a single fiscal year to rack up unit sales numbers. However, the Switch 2 has outpaced the original in a short amount of time.

For some perspective, the original Switch sold about 4.7 million units in its first four months. The Switch 2 is now reportedly up beyond 10 million in that same amount of time. Nintendo also sold about 6 million in just two months. This surge in popularity has caused Nintendo to raise its forecast from 15 million to 19 million. This seems like a reasonable forecast now with the numbers where they are. Not to mention, it’s now right in the middle of the busiest shopping season of the year.

In addition to strong hardware sales, Nintendo has also announced strong software sales for the Nintendo Switch 2. Since the console’s launch in the Summer, Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bonanza have become two of Nintendo’s most popular games for it. In short, the Nintendo Switch 2 has had a very strong start and it doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon.
