Alright, so I stumbled upon this Nintendo Music app thing — yep, there’s an app that pretty much jams all the epic game tunes from like, forever ago, right onto your phone. I swear, Nintendo’s been cranking out these earworms for almost 40 years. Who knew time flies when you’re having fun with plumbers and princesses, right?
But here’s the kicker: you can’t just waltz in and use it. Nope. You gotta pay your dues with the Nintendo Switch Online membership. Yeah, of course, there’s always a catch. But hey, members get to groove to those tunes online or, if you’re like me and your WiFi has a mind of its own, download them for offline listening. Game on, even when you’re off the grid.
Now, picture this: you’re hunting with Link or racing with Mario and the game’s soundtrack is like a personal movie score. Whether it’s those classic Super Mario beats, the kinda epic Legend of Zelda vibes, or Splatoon’s — how do I even describe it — squishy jams? You just search by the game’s name, track title, whatever floats your boat. Screenshots, even. Yep, visuals, because why not?
Oh, and there’s more. They say they’re gonna keep updating the library. Fingers crossed they do! Here’s the rundown of all the sweet tracks you can dive into. By console, because I’m weirdly organized like that sometimes.
Nintendo Switch:
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons (seriously, cannot stop that island tune from looping in my head)
- Fire Emblem Engage (all about those epic battle songs)
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land
- Kirby Star Allies
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (feel the speed, yes!)
- Metroid Prime Remastered
- Pikmin 4 (tiny but mighty tunes)
- Pokémon Legends: Arceus
- Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
- Pokémon Sword and Shield
- Splatoon 2 & 3
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Super Mario Odyssey
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
And there’s more, like Wii U with its Mario Kart 8 and Zelda magic. Then the 3DS goes all cozy with Luigi’s Mansion, Mario Kart 7, and StreetPass Mii Plaza. Don’t get me started on Wii (Super Mario Galaxy and more), the nostalgic vibes on DS, and even the retro feels from Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, Super NES, Game Boy, and the mighty NES.
Honestly, it’s like a time machine for your ears. Whatever old (or new) jam you’re craving, they’ve probably got it. And if they don’t, maybe they will soon. Who knows?
Oh, if by some miracle you’re a Nintendo Switch Online member (or super lucky with the Expansion Pack), this musical treasure trove? No extra charge. Zero, zip, nada. Just grab it and immerse yourself in the melodies of gaming history. That’s it, really. Just go and listen. And maybe get lost in nostalgia because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love that?
