Revisit Iconic Gaming Soundtracks With Nintendo Music
The new digital streaming platform is chock-full of nostalgia and available to Nintendo Switch Online members today.
Nintendo has one of the most prestigious catalogs in gaming, dating back to the ’70s with EVR Race. Its position in the gaming industry is unique with its many beloved franchises that have long operated as exclusives to the company’s consoles — from Super Mario Bros. to Pokémon.
The Japanese company’s latest move brings 40 years of nostalgia to the masses as it has suddenly announced and launched Nintendo Music. This new digital streaming platform serves as a one-stop-shop for the soundtracks of many of its titles, including the likes of Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Songs can be streamed via the application or downloaded for offline listening while being searchable via song title, game or even through playlists curated by Nintendo. Select tracks are able to be looped for 15, 30 or 60 minutes and you can even filter out songs that may spoil your future playthroughs. To top it all off, since the system is integrated via a Nintendo Switch Online membership, it serves up recommendations based on your gaming history.
The new platform is available now to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers in the US and Canada, which costs $4 USD a month or $20 USD a year. More music is also said to be arriving to Nintendo Music at a later date.
From bopping around town to getting things done, there’s a Super Mario song to match your mood!
