Nintendo is rewriting the rules of music in games with Nintendo Music, a mobile app that invites fans to listen to the soundtracks of their favorite games.
Available now for iOS and Android, Nintendo Music allows Switch Online members to enjoy exclusive game tracks in a streamlined interface packed with nostalgic surprises and curated playlists that bring Nintendo's beloved worlds to life.
Designed exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, the company's unexpected foray into music streaming offers a journey through decades of gaming history. Of the pixelated melodies of Super Mario Bros. to the orchestral scores of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Nintendo has long resisted sharing its vast catalog of game music with existing streaming platforms like Spotify, but with the new app, fans now have a dedicated space to access numerous official soundtracks. At launch, it has a catalog that covers iconic franchises such as Mario Kart, animal crossing and metroidalong with deep cuts of fire emblem and even the iconic Wii Shop Channel theme. Users can browse by game or franchise, explore mood-based playlists, and create custom mixes.
A first-of-its-kind “spoiler mode” protects players from potential plot revelations, hiding clues tied to important in-game moments that could ruin the story of unplayed titles.
In another clever twist, fans can set tracks to loop for up to 60 minutes, a feature that promises uninterrupted listening for those who simply can't get enough.
Nintendo Music is included in all Switch Online memberships, including free trial access, and allows family members to join the experience at no additional cost. You can download the application. here.
