Nintendo Music App Launches for Nintendo Switch Online Members on iOS and Android

Nintendo has introduced a new addition to its lineup of digital services with the unveiling of Nintendo Music, a dedicated smart-device application designed for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.

Building on a history of innovation in both gaming and entertainment services, the company continues to expand its ecosystem even as anticipation grows for the successor to the widely successful Nintendo Switch platform. In recent months, speculation about the end of the Nintendo Switch’s lifecycle has intensified, especially with industry insiders and fans closely watching for news about a forthcoming Nintendo console.

While major hardware announcements remain pending, Nintendo is focusing efforts on supporting its current base and enhancing the value of the Nintendo Switch Online service. Nintendo Music, now available for download on iOS and Android devices, allows Nintendo Switch Online members to stream or download an extensive collection of music from classic and modern Nintendo game soundtracks.

The app includes music spanning several decades, featuring compositions from beloved franchises and past hit titles, making it an attractive offering for long-time fans and new players alike. A statement from Nintendo of America, released alongside the reveal, emphasized the company’s commitment to celebrating its rich musical library and connecting with fans in new ways.

The statement underscores the growing role of Nintendo Switch Online as a platform for not only playing games but also experiencing other aspects of the company’s entertainment heritage. Since its launch in September 2018, Nintendo Switch Online has been a cornerstone of the Switch ecosystem, providing multiplayer functionality, access to a range of NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy titles, special offers, and exclusive content.

The addition of Nintendo Music is set to further enhance the membership’s value. Nintendo Music is now officially available in major app stores, and its release arrives amid other recent company initiatives targeting Switch Online subscribers, such as playtest programs and utility apps.

This focus on digital services highlights Nintendo's strategy to maintain strong engagement with its audience as the industry prepares for the company’s next hardware generation. With Nintendo Music, the celebrated scores and soundtracks that have defined the Nintendo experience for millions are now more accessible than ever, reaffirming the company’s dedication to its creative legacy while continuing to innovate within the expanding world of digital entertainment.
