Nintendo has launched a new store app for Android and iOS, allowing users to buy hardware, accessories, and games for the Switch and Switch 2, adding to its existing app lineup. While the apps serve valuable functions, the multiplicity of four distinct applications feels overwhelming and redundant, especially as they sometimes overlap in features. The company’s approach reflects a desire to innovate and catch up with competitors, but risks alienating users who may find it cumbersome. As Nintendo expands its ecosystem, it must be cautious not to overwhelm customers with app clutter.
