Nintendo 💜Directs routinely hit the monitors of many gamers' computers on a monthly (or sometimes bi-monthly) basis, but it seems as though the methods by which people view Directs is expanding for the region ♈of Japan.
According to , the Nintendo Direct streaming app is separate from the Switch Online app. Further, th📖e app is available exclusively in Japan on iOS and Android devices and allows users to view Nintendo Directs, purchase a variety of software, inspect play records, and mor𓃲e.
Currently, there is no slated release for the N🐻intendo Dir💟ect app in the west. However, it would be nice to have another way of viewing Nintendo Directs. There is a valid concern over the quality of the viewing, though a streamlined ability to do so is a nice bonus for Nintendo fans in Japan.
This does seem to be another instance of Japan's priority when it comes to Nintendo's latest features. For instance, where My Nintendo's highlights mostly include 3DS and Wii U game discounts in the west, Japan's Club Nintendo-esque website includes physical rewards a🌳nd more.
This may, however, give Nintendo time to polish the app before an expanded release in western regions. P🏅erhaps th꧒e company will monitor the app's performance in Japan before a wider release abroad.
