First launched in October 2023, the Nintendo Music app is a free benefit for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, giving users access to an ever-growing archive of iconic soundtracks from Nintendo’s celebrated game catalog. In a recent Nintendo Direct, the company revealed the highly anticipated Super Mario Galaxy duology—originally released on the Nintendo Wii—will make its way to Nintendo Switch on October 2, 2024.

Hot on the heels of this announcement, Nintendo rolled out a significant update to the Nintendo Music app, adding the full Super Mario Galaxy 2 soundtrack for fans to enjoy.

These playlists have been designed to provide both newcomers and series veterans with a thematic listening experience, highlighting some of the most memorable compositions from Super Mario Galaxy 2.

In addition to these selections, the Extended-Playback Collection returns, allowing users to experience certain tracks in a seamless loop—a feature appreciated by fans who want to immerse themselves in Nintendo’s orchestral soundscapes longer. Nintendo Music stands out in the industry by offering its soundtracks as part of a dedicated mobile service compatible with both iOS and Android devices.

The app is available for download through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, ensuring accessibility for a wide user base.

Since its launch, the app has steadily expanded its library, making it an essential companion for Nintendo Switch Online members and a testament to Nintendo’s dedication to celebrating video game music. With the Super Mario Galaxy series returning to the Nintendo Switch and its music being celebrated through the Nintendo Music app, 2024 continues to mark a year filled with nostalgia and innovation for Nintendo fans.

As more soundtracks are promised in future updates, the Nintendo Music app remains a must-have for enthusiasts eager to revisit their favorite in-game melodies.
