'''Play Nintendo''' is a division of [[Nintendo]]'s official North American website. It promotes contemporary Nintendo systems and games, while maintaining a focus on appealing to a younger audience. It was established on October 1, 2014.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/fDFU_xSPg70DC4laXkgruUB9g-rMP93w What's New - Find fun and surprises at Play Nintendo]. ''Nintendo of America'' (October 1, 2014). Retrieved January 17, 2018.</ref> The icon used for the website is a [[Super Star]]. Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of Japan have similar divisions titled [[Nintendo Kids Club]] and [[Nintendo Kids Space]], respectively.

The website's content is split into five sections: Friends, Activities, Media, Printables, and News & Tips. (Formerly there were only three sections: Friends, Explore, and News & Tips.) A clickable [[? Block]] appears throughout these sections, which causes random events to occur when clicked, such as 8-bit [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] walking across the webpage, or [[coin]]s appearing on the screen, which can be collected with the pointer. A web-comic series surfaced on the site to promote the [[Wii U]] release of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' called ''[[Track That Treasure, Captain Toad!]]''
==Sections==
