Animal Crossing: New Leaf Soundtrack Added to Nintendo Music for Switch Online Subscribers

Nintendo continues to delight its dedicated fanbase with fresh offerings tied to its celebrated game franchises.

Following last week’s headline-making reveal of a major free update and the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the company has expanded its Nintendo Music app with a substantial addition: the complete soundtrack from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

As of Monday, November 3rd, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers gain exclusive access to the entire Animal Crossing: New Leaf soundtrack through the Nintendo Music app.

This update delivers 188 meticulously curated tracks, offering nearly five hours of iconic music from the beloved Nintendo 3DS title.

The collection is designed to provide a nostalgic journey through the serene and whimsical world of Animal Crossing, with playlists that feature the renowned hourly music rotation—a signature audio experience that mirrors in-game time and atmosphere. The hourly music synchronization feature, a staple across the Animal Crossing series, has been particularly celebrated by fans for enhancing immersion and ambiance, and is a highlight of this new content update.

Nintendo recently emphasized the importance of this feature in Animal Crossing: New Horizons as well, reinforcing its commitment to the core elements that make the franchise unique.

The Nintendo Music app supports these dynamic playlists, allowing players to enjoy in-game music as it would be heard throughout an actual day in their virtual village. Nintendo Music has rapidly established itself as a cornerstone of the company’s digital ecosystem, regularly updating its library with both familiar classics and exclusive tracks.

Earlier this year, the platform introduced previously unreleased music from titles such as Kirby Air Ride, coinciding with anticipation for upcoming Nintendo Switch releases.

Donkey Kong Bananza has also seen its most recognizable vocal pieces added to Nintendo Music, several months after its initial launch, providing fans with new ways to engage with their favorite soundtracks. This latest addition not only satisfies long-time Animal Crossing enthusiasts but further underscores Nintendo’s strategy of enriching the Nintendo Switch Online experience.

By making these extensive soundtracks accessible, the company continues to celebrate its legacy titles while fostering a community that values nostalgia and innovation in equal measure. For players eager to revisit Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s musical roots, the Nintendo Music app’s latest update is a welcome enhancement—one that highlights both the breadth of Nintendo’s audio archives and its enduring commitment to fan service.
