Nintendo has struck a nostalgic chord with its latest release—a dedicated music streaming app that celebrates nearly four decades of beloved video game soundtracks.

The new Nintendo Music app opens up a vast audio library to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, bringing timeless melodies from iconic franchises like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Pikmin, Metroid, Splatoon 3, and Donkey Kong Country to mobile devices.

 

Available on both iOS and Android platforms, this complimentary addition to Nintendo Switch Online membership transforms how fans can experience their favorite gaming soundtracks. The app's versatile features let users stream music directly or download tracks for offline enjoyment, perfect for those times when an internet connection isn't available.

Finding the perfect tune is effortless with multiple search options—users can look up songs by game title, track name, or even browse through screenshot-based navigation. The app goes beyond basic playback functionality, offering extended loop options of 15, 30, or 60 minutes for uninterrupted listening sessions. For those wanting to avoid game spoilers, a thoughtful filtering system allows users to exclude songs from specific titles.

Nintendo has also emphasized personalization and community features. The app crafts music recommendations based on users' Nintendo Switch gaming habits, while custom playlist creation and sharing capabilities foster a connected community of gaming music enthusiasts. Themed playlists organized around characters, moods, boss battles, and title themes add another layer of discovery to the experience.

The comprehensive library spans Nintendo's rich history from contemporary releases all the way back to the NES era, making it a treasure trove for both new fans and longtime Nintendo enthusiasts. Available starting today, Nintendo Music comes at no additional cost for Nintendo Switch Online members, with subscriptions starting at $3.99 monthly or $19.99 annually in the U.S. and Canada.

 

 

The app has launched in select international markets as well. Looking ahead, Nintendo plans to expand the app's musical library over time, ensuring fresh content for subscribers worldwide. Which nostalgic Nintendo tune will be the first to transport you back to your favorite gaming moments?
