Nintendo Music Now Available on iOS and Android Devices
Exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online Members
Nintendo's creativity knows no bounds. From alarm clocks and museums to Pokémon-themed manhole covers, they've now launched a music app that lets fans stream and download soundtracks from their vast 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 you covered.
Launched today, Nintendo Music is available on both iOS and Android devices, making it easier than ever to explore Nintendo's musical legacy. The best part? It's free to download and use, provided you have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership, either 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 subscription.
The app boasts a user-friendly interface, allowing you to search by game, track name, or dive into themed and character playlists curated by Nintendo. A smart feature suggests music based on your gaming history on the Switch. Can't find the perfect playlist? No problem! You can create and share your own. For those avoiding spoilers, there's a spoiler-free listening mode, ensuring you enjoy the music without revealing key game events.
For uninterrupted listening, the app offers a looping function, allowing you to set tracks to loop for 15, 30, or 60 minutes, perfect for background music while studying or working.
Can't find your favorite tunes? Don't worry; Nintendo plans to continuously expand the app's library, adding 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. By tapping into nostalgia, Nintendo aims to stand out among other gaming subscription services and music apps that offer similar features.
This app marks a significant step in integrating video game music with mainstream streaming services, providing fans with a legal and convenient way to access these beloved soundtracks. Currently, Nintendo Music is available only in the U.S. and Canada, but given the high international interest, fans worldwide are hopeful for a global rollout soon.
