Nintendo's New Music App: A Soundtrack to Your NSO Membership
A surprise launch! Nintendo has unveiled a new mobile app, exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) subscribers. This article explores the features and benefits of Nintendo Music.
Nintendo Music: Now Available on iOS and Android
This app is a perk for NSO members (both standard and Expansion Pack). Enjoy streaming and downloading soundtracks from a vast library spanning Nintendo's game history, from classic titles like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario to newer hits like Splatoon.
The app is free to download and use, provided you have an active NSO subscription. A free trial is available for those wanting to test it before subscribing.
User-Friendly Design and Features:
The app boasts a clean interface. Search by game, track, or explore curated playlists by theme or character. Smart suggestions based on your Switch gaming history are included. Create and share custom playlists with friends. A spoiler-free mode ensures you can enjoy the music without ruining your gameplay experience. A looping function (15, 30, or 60 minutes) is perfect for background listening.
The music library will continue to grow, with regular additions of new songs and playlists.
Expanding NSO Value:
This app enhances the value of the NSO subscription, which already includes access to classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy games. It's a smart move by Nintendo, capitalizing on nostalgia and competing effectively with other subscription services. Nintendo Music offers a legal and convenient way to access these beloved soundtracks.
Currently, the app is available in the U.S. and Canada. Global expansion is hoped for in the future.
