Automated Nintendo eShop Release Calendar
Every Monday, WebRun opens Nintendo, checks upcoming eShop releases and sales, adds each date to a shared Google Calendar, and notifies the editorial team in Microsoft Teams so coverage gets planned around release day instead of scrambled together after launch.
How do I build an editorial calendar around Nintendo eShop release dates?
WebRun checks Nintendo every Monday for upcoming eShop releases and sales, adds each date to a shared Google Calendar, and notifies the editorial team in Microsoft Teams. Games media teams plan launch day coverage in advance instead of finding out a release date the same week it happens.
- Coverage gets planned days ahead of a release, not after
- The editorial calendar stays current without manual checking
- Sales and launches are tracked in the same shared calendar

Questions, answered
Will it purchase a game or claim a sale?
No. WebRun only reads the public eShop listing for release and sale dates. Purchasing or claiming anything is left to a person.
How far ahead does the calendar look?
It checks whatever release and sale dates Nintendo has published as of that Monday, so the calendar reflects real, confirmed dates rather than rumors.
Can it track a specific list of upcoming titles?
It surfaces what's newly listed each week. Point WebRun at particular titles you're watching if you want those flagged first in the Teams update.
