Imagine if rooted phones existed so this wouldn't pose any issue/challenge...

Hold up, they do. Wait until Nintendo discovers that.

Hold up, they do. Wait until Nintendo discovers that.

You don't even need to do that. Just run an Android emulator on PC and screen record your PC. Or if you have a phone with Displayport output just hook that up to a capture card.

The fact that Nintendo thinks we need an app to get news about their stuff just shows how behind the curve their corporate leadership constantly is. Nintendo already has a social media presence and multiple websites, just use those.
