Nintendo Music App Pops Up Out of Nowhere for NSO Members

Nintendo has done it again! They've surprised us with a brand new mobile app exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members. Dive into the world of Nintendo Music and discover the iconic soundtracks that have defined gaming for decades.

Nintendo Music Now Available on iOS and Android Devices

Exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online Members

Nintendo's creativity knows no bounds. From alarm clocks to Pokémon-themed manhole covers, they've now launched a music app that lets fans stream and download soundtracks from their extensive game library, including classics like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario, to modern hits like Splatoon.

Launched today, Nintendo Music is accessible on both iOS and Android devices, offering an easy way to immerse yourself in Nintendo’s musical legacy. The best part? It's free to download and use, but you'll need a Nintendo Switch Online membership (either the standard or Expansion Pack). If you're curious, you can even try it out with a "Nintendo Switch Online Free Trial" before deciding on a full subscription.

The app boasts a user-friendly interface where you can search by game, track name, or dive into themed and character playlists curated by Nintendo. It's tailored to your gaming history on the Switch, suggesting music based on your play patterns. Can't find the perfect playlist? No problem! Create your own and share it with friends. Plus, for those avoiding spoilers, there's a special spoiler-free listening mode, so you can enjoy the music without revealing key game moments.

For those needing background music, the app offers a looping function. You can set tracks to loop for 15, 30, or 60 minutes, perfect for studying or working.

Can't find your favorite tracks? Don't fret; Nintendo has promised to continuously update the app with new songs and playlists to keep the content fresh and exciting.

Nintendo Music is a strategic move to enhance the value of the Switch Online membership, which already includes access to classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy games. It taps into the nostalgia factor, positioning Nintendo competitively against other subscription services and music apps that offer similar features.

This app marks a significant step in integrating video game music into mainstream streaming, providing fans with a legal and convenient way to enjoy these iconic soundtracks. Currently, Nintendo Music is available only in the U.S. and Canada, but given the global interest, there's hope for an international rollout soon.
