Nintendo on Wednesday launched a up-to-date music streaming app that lets fans replay some of the game developer’s most beloved songs, starting with Switch games like Super Mario Odyssey AND Pluto 3 a return to NES classics Metroid AND Super Mario Bros. Nintendo music — NO continuation Wii Music — is available exclusively to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers and can now be downloaded on Android and iOS devices from the site Google Play Store AND Apple App Storeappropriately.
The Nintendo Music app behaves similarly to well-known music streaming services such as Spotify. Users can browse by game, platform, and character, or tune into mood-based playlists. Nintendo Music will allow users to loop songs for up to an hour, create their own playlists and download songs for offline listening. The app even has a spoiler setting that prevents you from hearing songs from boss battles or significant moments you may not have encountered yet.
The Nintendo Music selection is quite modest compared to Nintendo’s huge catalog of games. But it does contain some real bangers. In addition to the “Jump, Super Star!” When tapped, Nintendo Music offers Wii Shop Channel background audio that will complement any shopping style.
Here is the full list of soundtracks available on Nintendo Music at launch:
Nintendo says more songs will be added to Nintendo Music over time. The app’s launch trailer features games such as Wii Sports, Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Pluto 2, The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker, Donkey Kong Country 2AND F-Zero X as future additions.
Unlike other game publishers, Nintendo has resisted putting game music on streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music in favor of its own dedicated app. The company has also aggressively targeted YouTube channels that repost game music; in 2022, Nintendo hit a popular music channel known as GilvaSunner with thousands of copyright strikes, forcing the channel to be taken offline. An alternative known as SilvaGunner continues to provide high-quality rips of great video game music.
