Nintendo just launched a new app called Nintendo Music that brings fans closer to the music of its legendary games. Available on iOS and Android, the app offers nearly 40 years of iconic tunes, but there's a catch—you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online Membership to use it. It's free for members and lets them stream classic Nintendo music anytime, anywhere. This app is Nintendo's first official venture into music streaming, offering something no fan has ever had: legal, easy access to the tunes from beloved games in one place.

The app’s interface will feel familiar to anyone who has used platforms like Spotify or Apple Music, as shown in the launch trailer. Fans can enjoy music from legendary franchises, including Super Mario, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Zelda, Metroid, and Pokémon, among others. Organized by game and available in curated playlists, Nintendo Music lets users explore soundtracks by title or create their own playlists. Features include streaming and downloading for offline listening, a spoiler-prevention filter to avoid game reveals, and personalized song recommendations based on the user’s Nintendo Switch play history.

To add to the excitement, Nintendo has included options to extend tracks by 15, 30, or 60 minutes—perfect for immersive listening sessions. Nintendo promises even more music updates in the future, offering fans a growing library of nostalgia-fueled tunes. For the first time, fans have a legal and official way to enjoy Nintendo’s vast musical legacy, marking a big win for Nintendo enthusiasts everywhere.
