Nintendo fans have a new way to enjoy their favorite game soundtracks with the release of the Nintendo Music app on iPhone and iPad. Launched without prior announcement, the app is available for free to download on the App Store but requires a Nintendo Online subscription for access. Offering soundtracks from across Nintendo’s extensive history, the app includes music from iconic franchises like The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario, Pokemon, and more.
Unlike general streaming platforms like Apple Music or YouTube, Nintendo Music is designed specifically for gaming enthusiasts, with curated playlists organized by characters, games, and themes, such as “Adventure Start” for embarking on a virtual journey. This design brings a tailored experience that Nintendo fans are likely to appreciate, as they can explore collections built around their favorite in-game worlds and characters.
Another unique feature of Nintendo Music is its spoiler protection. For fans who want to avoid potential surprises from games they haven’t completed, the app includes a “Spoiler-Free Mode.” When enabled, this feature hides titles, images, and certain tracks that could reveal plot points, making it an ideal option for players who are progressing through games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and want to keep their experience unspoiled.
The release of Nintendo Music marks Nintendo’s first official music app dedicated to gaming soundtracks, and it reflects a growing trend among companies recognizing the demand for game music as an essential part of the gaming experience. Nintendo Music brings fans closer to the nostalgia and artistry of these soundtracks, while also offering a practical alternative that won’t impact recommendation algorithms in standard streaming apps.
For Nintendo Online subscribers, the app is available now on the App Store for both iPhone and iPad, adding yet another benefit to the service. Whether reliving old memories with the Super Mario classics or diving into the atmospheric sounds of Metroid, Nintendo Music is ready to bring a whole new way for fans to connect with their favorite games.
