Nintendo announces new streaming service ‘Nintendo Music’ for Switch Online subscribers

While it may not be the drop of a new console, Nintendo has just released a music streaming app for Switch Online subscribers and it’s aptly named ‘Nintendo Music.’

The mobile app officially launched on Wednesday (October 30) on both iOS and Android, with people able to listen to classic gaming tunes from the gaming company’s repertoire.

The app will contain new releases, as well as all of the retro classics within its library. Through Nintendo Music, users can stream and download numerous tracks.

Like with other streaming services, there is the ability to create playlists and there is a search tool to find preset playlists which may fit your current mood.

There are further functionalities like being able to hide certain tracks that may contain game spoilers, as well as extending or looping tracks so you can keep listening to your favorites. The tracks can be extended to 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

You can also listen offline when tracks are downloaded, so the internet isn’t needed at all times.

The database will feature music from Pikmin 4, Donkey Kong Country, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Metroid Prime, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, Splatoon 3, Kirby Star Allies, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and many more.
