Nintendo's Surprise Hit: Nintendo Music App Now Available for NSO Members!
Nintendo has launched a new mobile app exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) subscribers! Dive into the expansive world of Nintendo soundtracks with Nintendo Music, offering streaming and download options for music spanning decades of gaming history.
Available on iOS and Android
This free app, accessible with an NSO membership (standard or Expansion Pack), provides a vast library of music from iconic franchises like The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, and Splatoon. A free trial of NSO is available for those wanting to test the app before subscribing.
The app boasts a user-friendly interface, allowing searches by game, track, or curated playlists. It cleverly suggests music based on your Switch gaming history and allows custom playlist creation and sharing. A spoiler-free listening mode ensures uninterrupted enjoyment for those actively playing the games.
For focused work or study, a looping function offers continuous playback for 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Nintendo plans to continuously update the app with new songs and playlists.
This latest addition enhances the value of the NSO subscription, which already includes access to classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles. Nintendo leverages nostalgia to compete effectively in the market of gaming subscription services and music streaming apps. Nintendo Music offers a legal and convenient way to access these soundtracks, currently available in the U.S. and Canada, with hopes for global expansion soon.
