Nintendo's Surprise Hit: A New Music App for Switch Online Members!

Nintendo has launched a brand-new mobile app exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers! Discover the joys of Nintendo Music and its extensive soundtrack collection.

Nintendo Music: Now Available on iOS and Android

A Nintendo Switch Online Exclusive

From alarm clocks to museums, Nintendo continues to surprise. Their latest venture? A music app offering streaming and downloads of soundtracks spanning decades of gaming history, from The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario to Splatoon.

Launched recently, Nintendo Music is available for free on iOS and Android devices – provided you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership (standard or Expansion Pack). A free trial is available for those wanting to test the app before subscribing.

The app boasts a user-friendly interface. Search by game, track, or explore themed playlists curated by Nintendo itself. The app cleverly suggests music based on your Switch gaming history, and you can even create and share custom playlists. A spoiler-free mode ensures uninterrupted enjoyment for those mid-gameplay.

Enjoy uninterrupted listening with a looping function for 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Nintendo promises ongoing library expansion with new songs and playlists added regularly.

This app enhances the value of a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, which already includes access to classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy games. It's a smart move, especially considering the competition from other subscription services and music apps.

Nintendo Music provides legal and easy access to these soundtracks, bridging the gap between video game music and mainstream streaming. Currently available in the U.S. and Canada, global expansion is hoped for.
