Nintendo graced us with a lovely Halloween announcement this morning — the launch of its new Nintendo Music app. It’s basically Spotify for gamers, specifically Nintendo fans.
While the app is free, you require a Nintendo Switch Online membership to access the music… So, it’s more of a perk like Amazon Music, where you must have Amazon Prime membership.

I found two features most interesting.
Firstly, the app gives you the ability to extend the length of certain tracks so you don’t have to keep looping them. Secondary, you’re able to filter out music from a game you haven’t played yet to avoid spoilers. You can bet I’ll be doing the former with Animal Crossing tracks.
Like other music streaming platforms, you can download tracks to listen to offline. Nintendo Music also has a bunch of playlists based on specific characters, opening moments, boss battles, and even some to fit your mood.
You can expect to see tracks from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Fire Emblem, Mario Kart, and more listed in the announcement trailer.
Nintendo Music is available to download today for iOS and Android devices.
