in it’s current version, this app won’t even open. Nintendo, just let Discord handle your online chat. Sony had similar issues with the PS3 because of the cultural difference in social gaming networks. This app is garbage even when it does open because it only lets you talk to your party when in game, and […]

The app works great for voice chat or the extra features for Splatoon or Smash but it’s seriously lacking. They should add in the full eShop so you can buy games and have them download on your Switch. We should be able to add friends and message them or invite them to play inside the […]

This app is good at what it does, but It proposes a problem: “What if I want to voice chat with my friends?” That might sound simple, just text them on discord or something, but what if you only know them on the switch? You can’t communicate to them AT. ALL. the only way you […]

For what it is, it works fine, and the only main issue I really have with it so far is that you have to be playing a game online before you can connect the voice call to your friends. That being said, this could have been avoided if controllers such as the Pro Controller supported […]

Useful for “pre-downloading” content by adding it to your wish list. Main focus is on in-game voice chat through your phone. But basically no stranger has ever said anything productive or worth listening in these chats. If you have the phone numbers of your friends, you could just use group call. Or even Discord. Otherwise […]

Super ticked. How can you continue to send me promotional emails, but you can’t send a verification code email? Tried the consoles, the app, the website, all of it. I’ve loved Nintendo since I was old enough to play games, but I’m done after this nonsense. I’ve tried everything to get into my account, and […]

Great app, but I don’t have much use for going into it, because Nooklink only has SIX items to purchase. Kind of lame considering you get 10 coins each time you check in. Once you have all the items, there’s zero reasons to continue to do it. It takes away a lot of the Daily […]

Good where it’s used, but not the best. Still, has everything that is Nintendo there for you. Jack of all trades, master of none. The paid service is often regarded as poor, due to the need for purchase and mediocre service. It is understandable to an extent, such as working off of WiFi, though many […]

I use it for the NookLink feature. It can be a easy way to communicate because sending messages via the in-game way isn’t the easiest. There’s also the island news that has a daily turnip selling price tracker and the only official one. There’s also the daily reward coins to buy things you can receive […]

Should’ve gave this to the console, not the phone. If ur gonna use voice chat, u can call each other. I’d rather them put the app on the console and it’s an app that’s always open(so u can play games with app still running) and u can voice chat on any game. Or create parties […]

A nice little companion app for the Nintendo Switch. If you don’t play games with online components (i.e. Splatoon, visiting friends in Animal Crossing), this may not do much for you. But if you do play such games, you may as well download it because it does have some cool stuff. You don’t need to […]

Honestly this app is REALLY handy. It’s only 4 stars for reasons I’ll cover. My first complaint or feedback is that there should really be a way to buy games on the phone. This may be pushing it but you could make ways to get coupons and get a discount. Another thing is that there […]

I, like others, am caught in a login loop from hell. I open the app, it says sign in, I select my account, and we return to the sign in page…over and over. Even called Nintendo customer service last night, and they started a ticket because they say this is so strange (though so many […]

Got this to save up points and talk to friends… still a bit too nervous to talk to friends. My main complaint is that you can’t text friends or anything, you can only try and call them, which just isn’t my thing cuz I don’t want to bug friends like that. If I could send […]

Ima throw an idea into your Dev think tank. An app that is just like this but isnt this. An app where you can view your switch online marketplace on the go, purchase games, look at the games, watch trailers, browse, and, be able to message friends, add/remove friends, see their status. And better yet […]

This app is useful for tracking your stats in some games, and even lets you remotely do some things, even when you’re not playing. If you care about your performance in, say, Splatoon, you can use the app to track which weapons you excel with, and the ones you’ll need more practice with. Voice chat […]

I’m playing TotK and have been listening to the voice memories. I didn’t think there were any voice memories in the depths because nothing was showing up. Well, I came across a voice memory of Kohga and learned that there are supposed to be voice notes for Kohga. They’re not showing up and I can’t […]

I’ve edited my review as the app now has much more features for more games. It also is more stable and is overall a wonderful improvement… in particular with the addition of the Zelda games. It has never crashed and is fast and responsive. It connected to my Nintendo account and in turn to my […]

Zelda Notes is a must for Zelda players; it makes collecting fun and has dialogue regarding places in the game. It also allows item transfers between games and even shipping botw items to totk. The supported games are limited, but that isn’t bad. An app shouldn’t be for every single title ever, though I saw […]

The app is absolutely fantastic now with the new zelda update. Two things that I would like to see in the future, though, are more voice memories with different characters for the breath of the wild. I mean It would be absolutely amazing if there were some voice memories for the champions or King roahm […]
