8 of 15can access my island on mobile, enough five star
The app will NOT control time limits. Epic fail.
Please add the Pokédex from Pokopia on this app! I’m so tired of constantly having to open the Pokédex in-game to check what each Pokémon’s favorites are, checking habitat info, etc. Because I’m forgetful (there’s too much to try to remember anyway), I’m opening the in-game Pokedex like more than anything else in the game at this point. It’d be nice to just have it always open in the Nintendo app as I play. Also, checking every Pokémon’s comfort levels at the PC is annoying too because I have to run across the map most of the time. It’d be nice to have realtime data on their comfort levels on here too. Please, I beg you! Support for Pokopia would make the game and the Nintendo Switch app 10x better. 🙏
Zelda notes refuses to load
Bro this is awesome. It feels like the home menu on your device. If you are a Nintendo fan, you need this app.
I use this for nooklink and smash world because nooklink gives me extra rewards in animal crossing and I make videos for smash world. Seriously check out my videos on mystic6599 they’re awesome. If you like playing Splatoon and the Nintendo switch 2 editions of the Zelda games, you’ll also enjoy this for those expanded features. Five stars!
Zelda notes are AMAZING as someone who plays botw a lot finding all the Koroks is a botw players DREAM so when i tell you Zelda notes helps you find all of them I MEAN IT litterally you could be in gerudo dessert then say the korok is in Tabatha snow field it WILL get you there to the location thank you nintendo
As a small YouTuber, I can’t get my mic to work and it disappoints me that there are no screen casting on the app
