Nintendo Music includes a variety of songs from the company’s long catalog, but the sooner we get the Mother soundtrack, the better.
Nintendo’s on an odd streak going into the tail end of the year. Its major hardware release for 2024 turned out to be a big, loud alarm clock. Anybody who pays for Nintendo Switch Online can download Nintendo Music to listen to music from the Japanese game maker’s most beloved properties. What’s even more strange than the fact this now exists is how good the app is, even at this early stage.
Nintendo Music is available on iOS and Android starting today. The app includes tracks from a handful of properties, including the Mario games, Metroid, Pokémon, Legend of Zelda, and Starfox. There are also tracks from lesser-known franchises, like Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade for the Game Boy Advance or Nintendogs for the Nintendo DS.
After a quick perusal through the list, I couldn’t find any true deep cuts, as much as I wanted to find the songs from the Mother (AKA, the EarthBound) games.
