Nintendo has quietly improved the Nintendo Store mobile app with an update that finally lets users search for store items without being pushed into their web browser. The change is modest but meaningful, addressing one of the more annoying friction points that turned many players away from using the app regularly.

  • In-app product search now functions directly inside the app, so queries no longer automatically open the external My Nintendo Store website.
  • The update doesn’t fully convert the app into a standalone storefront; several screens and flows still rely on web views or external links.
  • This follows Nintendo’s rebrand of the Japan-only My Nintendo app for Western audiences last year and tackles one of the main usability complaints since launch.
  • Players who primarily used the app to check playtime summaries or browse offers may find this tweak makes returning to the app slightly more convenient.
