Nintendo Music, an exclusive app for Switch Online members, offers an extensive collection of Nintendo's soundtrack history, featuring classic and contemporary game music.


Unlocking Nintendo's Musical Legacy Through a Mobile App

The world of Nintendo not only offers iconic gameplay but also boasts some of the most memorable musical scores in the gaming industry. To celebrate this rich musical heritage, Nintendo has launched a new mobile application named 'Nintendo Music'. This app is exclusively available to Switch Online members and hosts an expansive array of soundtracks from Nintendo's broad catalog of games.

'Nintendo Music' serves as a digital library, encompassing music from various Nintendo consoles over the years—ranging from the classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) to the modern Nintendo Switch. The app includes tracks from a multitude of beloved series, ensuring that fans of all types of Nintendo games can enjoy the sounds of their favorite titles.

From the nostalgic tunes of 'Super Mario Bros.' and the epic orchestral scores of 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild', to the bubbly sounds of 'Splatoon 3' and the serene melodies of 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons', the app celebrates the diversity and creativity of Nintendo's musical accomplishments. Major titles like 'Mario Kart 8 Deluxe', 'Metroid Prime', and 'Super Mario Galaxy' also find their place within the app, providing users a range of sounds spanning from action-packed to calming.

Moreover, the app is user-friendly and curated to enhance user experience. Members can explore different soundtracks by browsing through specific game titles or by navigating through the consoles on which those games were released. This thoughtful organization allows users to either find their favorite tracks quickly or explore new musical themes and rediscover classics that they might not have heard before.

The introduction of 'Nintendo Music' comes as a significant perk to holders of the 'active' Nintendo Switch Online membership. This membership, primarily known for providing access to online game features and a selection of NES and SNES games, now also offers an auditory trip down memory lane, one which enhances the overall value of the subscription.

Future updates are anticipated as Nintendo aims to continually expand the app's library. Promising additions such as soundtracks from 'Wii Sports', 'Super Mario 64', and 'The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword' are already on the horizon. These planned updates suggest that Nintendo is dedicated to making 'Nintendo Music' a dynamic and evolving service, always aiming to cater to the tastes and preferences of its diverse fanbase.

The strategic roll-out of content not only keeps the app fresh but also keeps users engaged, giving them reasons to frequently revisit and explore new additions to the collection. This approach mirrors Nintendo's broader content strategy, which often involves sequential releases to maintain consumer interest and sustained engagement over time.

Indeed, the thoughtful selection and presentation of soundtracks in 'Nintendo Music' underscore Nintendo's commitment to celebrating its legacy and leveraging its rich history of gaming culture. It serves as a testament to the enduring relevance of Nintendo's games, not just through gameplay but also through the powerful and evocative music that has brought these digital worlds to life.

Nintendo's initiative to package and present its musical history in such an accessible format not only respects the artistry behind these compositions but also acknowledges the nostalgic and emotional connections that fans hold with the music. Whether it's the thrilling rush of a Mario Kart race or the soothing ambiance of an Animal Crossing village, 'Nintendo Music' lets users hold a piece of Nintendo's magical worlds in their hands—anytime, anywhere. Thus, the app not only appeals to gamers but also to music enthusiasts who can appreciate the intricate compositions that have been key to defining Nintendo's aural landscape.
