"Nintendo Surprises NSO Members with New Music App"

Nintendo has just launched an exciting new app that's music to the ears of Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) members! Introducing Nintendo Music, a mobile app now available on both iOS and Android devices, bringing a rich catalog of iconic game soundtracks directly to fans.

Exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online Members

Nintendo's creativity knows no bounds. From alarm clocks and museums to Pokémon-themed manhole covers, they've now added a music app to their repertoire. With Nintendo Music, fans can stream and download soundtracks from a vast array of games, including classics like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario, as well as newer hits like Splatoon.

Launched today, Nintendo Music is free to download and use, but you'll need an active Nintendo Switch Online membership (either the standard or Expansion Pack option). If you're curious to try it out, you can start with a "Nintendo Switch Online Free Trial" before deciding to subscribe.

The app boasts a user-friendly interface that allows you to search by game, track name, and curated playlists themed around characters and games. A smart feature tailors music suggestions based on your Switch gaming history. Can't find the perfect playlist? No problem—you can create and share your own. Plus, there's a spoiler-free listening mode for those deep in their game playthroughs, ensuring you enjoy the music without spoiling the story.

For those needing background music while studying or working, the app offers a looping function, allowing you to set tracks to repeat for 15, 30, or 60 minutes without interruption.

If your favorite tunes are missing, don't fret. Nintendo has promised to continuously expand the app's library, adding new songs and playlists to keep the content fresh and engaging.

Nintendo Music is a strategic move to enhance the value of the Switch Online membership, which already includes access to classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy games. By tapping into nostalgia, Nintendo aims to stand out among other gaming subscription services and music apps that offer similar features.

This app marks a significant step in integrating video game music with mainstream streaming services, providing fans with a legal and convenient way to enjoy these soundtracks. Currently, Nintendo Music is available exclusively in the U.S. and Canada, but given the high demand, there's hope for a global rollout soon.
