Nintendo already has the pieces for a great social platform, they just need to figure out a way to put them together.
On this episode on Expansion Pass, Edward Varnell and Corey Dirrig break down Nintendo’s scattered mobile app strategy and how it could be holding the company back.
They talk about how apps like Nintendo Switch Online, Nintendo Music, Nintendo Today, and the Nintendo Store all function separately, despite requiring the same login ecosystem and explore the idea that Nintendo could combine these into a single unified social-style app, where players share screenshots, game clips, wishlists, achievements, and updates in one feed.
They also discuss how features like Miiverse, friend-based feeds, and even in-game rewards like stickers or profiles could bring back a stronger sense of community.
Nintendo already has the tools to build something unique, but hasn’t fully connected them into one cohesive experience. This and more on Expansion Pass.
