Nintendo has done it again! They've surprised us with a brand new mobile app, Nintendo Music, exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online members. Dive in to discover how this app lets you enjoy the iconic tunes from your favorite Nintendo games.
Nintendo Music Now Available on iOS and Android Devices
Exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online Members
Is there anything Nintendo can't do? From alarm clocks to museum exhibits, and even Pokémon-themed manhole covers, they've now released a music app that lets fans stream and download soundtracks from their expansive catalog of games. Whether you're a fan of classics like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario or more recent hits like Splatoon, Nintendo Music has got you covered.
Launched today, Nintendo Music is available for both iOS and Android users, making it easier than ever to explore Nintendo’s musical legacy. The best part? It’s free to download and use, provided you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership (either the standard or Expansion Pack). If you're curious to try it out, you can even take advantage of a "Nintendo Switch Online Free Trial" before deciding on a full subscription.
The app boasts a user-friendly interface, allowing you to search for music by game, track name, or dive into themed and character playlists curated by Nintendo. A thoughtful feature suggests music based on your gaming history on the Switch. Can't find the perfect playlist? No problem! You can create your own and share it with friends. For those avoiding spoilers, there’s a spoiler-free listening mode, ensuring you can enjoy the music without stumbling upon tracks tied to key game events.
For those needing uninterrupted background music, the app offers a looping function, allowing you to set tracks to repeat for 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
Worried about missing out on your favorite tunes? Nintendo assures us that the app's library will grow over time, with new songs and playlists regularly added to keep the content fresh and exciting.
Nintendo Music is a brilliant addition to the Nintendo Switch Online membership, which already offers access to classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy games. This move taps into the nostalgia factor, positioning Nintendo to compete effectively with other gaming subscription services and music apps that offer similar features.
The app marks a significant step in integrating video game music into the realm of mainstream streaming services, providing fans with a legal and convenient way to access these beloved soundtracks. Currently, Nintendo Music is available exclusively in the U.S. and Canada, but given the high international interest, fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting its global rollout.
