Nintendo Switch Online: New Music App Launched

Nintendo Music App Pops Up Out of Nowhere for NSO Members

Nintendo finally did it! They launched a brand new mobile app exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members! Read on to learn more about Nintendo Music and the great tunes it offers.

Nintendo Music Now Available on iOS and Android DevicesExclusively for Nintendo Switch Online Members

What can’t Nintendo do? They've released alarm clocks, opened a museum, and even designed manhole covers featuring our favorite Pokémon. Now, they've launched a music application that lets fans stream and even download soundtracks from the company's decades-long catalog of games, ranging from titles like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario to recent hits like Splatoon.

Launched earlier today, Nintendo Music is available on both iOS and Android devices, making it easier than ever to explore Nintendo’s musical legacy. Best of all, it’s free to download and use… as long as you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership (either the standard or Expansion Pack option). Fortunately, if you really want to try the app, you can grab a "Nintendo Switch Online Free Trial" to test the new application before committing to a subscription.

The app’s user interface is refreshingly straightforward. You can search by game, track title, and even by themed and character playlists curated by Nintendo. As a clever feature, the app suggests music based on each player’s Switch gaming history. If you can't find the right playlist, you can create your own and share it with friends. Nintendo even offers a spoiler-free listening mode for those mid-playthrough, so you can enjoy music without unintentionally hearing tracks tied to key game events.

For continuous listening, the app also includes a looping function for those who want background music while studying or working. You can loop tracks for 15, 30, or even 60 minutes without interruption.

Can't find your favorite tunes? Don’t worry; according to Nintendo, the app will continue to expand its library over time and release new songs and playlists to keep content current.

Nintendo Music App Pops Up Out of Nowhere for NSO Members

Nintendo Music is the company’s newest move to augment the value of its Switch Online membership, which includes access to classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy games. It seems Nintendo is leveraging nostalgia, especially as it’s competing with other game companies’ subscription services and music apps that offer comparable benefits.

The app appears to be a step forward in bringing video game music into the same realm as streaming services while giving fans a legal and convenient way to access these soundtracks. For now, however, it appears that Nintendo Music is exclusive to the U.S. and Canada, but with high international interest, fans outside these regions can only hope that the app soon expands worldwide.
