Nintendo Music App

Nintendo has launched a new mobile app exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) subscribers! Discover a vast library of Nintendo game soundtracks, from classic titles to modern hits. Read on to explore the features of this exciting new addition.

Nintendo Music: Available on iOS and Android

This free app, accessible on iOS and Android devices, offers streaming and download options for soundtracks spanning Nintendo's extensive game history. Access requires an NSO membership (either standard or Expansion Pack). A free trial is available for those wanting to test the app before subscribing.

Nintendo Music App Interface

The app boasts a user-friendly interface. Search by game, track, or explore curated playlists themed by characters or games. Personalized music suggestions based on your Switch gaming history add a unique touch. Create and share custom playlists with friends. A spoiler-free listening mode ensures uninterrupted enjoyment for those actively playing games.

Enjoy uninterrupted listening with the looping function, selectable for 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

The soundtrack library is continuously expanding, with regular additions of new songs and playlists.

Nintendo Music App Features

This app enhances the value of NSO, which already includes access to retro NES, SNES, and Game Boy games. Nintendo cleverly leverages nostalgia, providing a competitive edge in the subscription service and music app market.

Nintendo Music offers a convenient and legal way to access game soundtracks, currently limited to the U.S. and Canada. Global expansion is anticipated given the significant international interest.
