Following the unexpected announcement of new hardware in Alarmo last month, Nintendo has once again surprised us with an out-of-left-field announcement. This time, it’s Nintendo Music, a new music streaming app available now on both iOS and Android devices.
Nintendo Music is specifically made for turns from Nintendo’s history, with a selection of game soundtracks from the NES all the way to the current Switch. The app is free to download and use–provided you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
Nintendo Music, a new smart-device app exclusively for #NintendoSwitchOnline members, lets you stream or download music from Nintendo’s library of soundtracks!
Nintendo Music will be released later today! Learn more: https://t.co/X5uL1ThupO pic.twitter.com/2NOu7k22zf

Nintendo has curated a handful of playlists out of the music currently available, from title-screen songs to tracks themed around a certain character. Also, since users will be logging in with their Nintendo Switch Online accounts, a separate list will include games that account has previously played–along with an option to hide songs that are potential spoilers.
The list of soundtracks currently available on the Nintendo Music app are as follows:
NES MetroidMetroid (Famicom Disk System version)Super Mario Bros.Game Boy Kirby’s Dream LandDr. MarioSuper NES Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s IslandDonkey Kong CountryNintendo 64 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of TimeStar Fox 64Game Boy Advance Fire Emblem: The Blazing BladeGamecube Metroid PrimeDS Tomodachi CollectionNintendogsWii Super Mario GalaxyWii ChannelsNintendo Switch Pikmin 4Pokemon Scarlet/VioletSplatoon 3Animal Crossing: New HorizonsKirby Star AlliesSuper Mario OdysseyMario Kart 8 DeluxeThe Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
