Nintendo Switch 2 news will be fed straight you with Nintendo's new app

Nintendo has just wrapped up its last Nintendo Direct for the original Switch. At the end of the presentation, the company showcased a new app for Android and iOS devices.

Introducing Nintendo Today!, a new free app that provides players with updates from Nintendo tailored to their specific preferences. The new app will require a Nintendo account to access and, according to the announcement, Nintendo will be providing daily news updates on games, announcements, and after the Nintendo Switch 2-focussed Direct on April 2, details about the new console. Additionally, the new app will give players access to animated calendars, event schedules, and offer degrees of customization for homescreens.

The latest rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 point to the inclusion of a 120Hz LCD screen that features VRR and HDR support, with OLED screens being ruled out due to the increase in cost - at least for the first Nintendo Switch 2. The rumor comes from a leaker who almost hit the nail on the head when it came to leaking the console's GPU performance. Notably, the purported 120Hz refresh rate would be in handheld mode, which, if true, would mean the Nintendo Switch 2 has double the performance of the original Nintendo Switch.
