Nintendo has expanded its growing Nintendo Music catalogue by introducing the complete Super Metroid soundtrack, now accessible to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
This update enables fans to listen to an iconic selection of 28 tracks from the legendary 1994 action-adventure title via the Nintendo Music app, available through the Google Play and iOS App Store in select regions. Super Metroid, developed by Nintendo R&D1 and published for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), is widely considered a cornerstone of the Metroid franchise and a defining influence on the Metroidvania genre.
Known for its atmospheric soundtrack, the original score was composed by Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano, whose work has been lauded for amplifying the game's narrative depth and haunting environments. The inclusion of the Super Metroid soundtrack in the Nintendo Music catalogue further cements Nintendo’s commitment to celebrating its rich gaming legacy and providing value to Switch Online subscribers.
The Nintendo Music app presents soundtracks from classic titles, making them easily accessible for fans new and old alike. The soundtrack features 28 memorable tracks that capture key moments and settings within the game.
Fans can immerse themselves in themes such as “Opening (Destroyed Laboratory),” “Theme of Super Metroid,” “Samus Aran Appears,” “Brinstar: Heavy Foliage Area,” “Boss Battle BGM (Kraid/Crocomire/Phantoon),” and the climactic “Escape” and “Planet Zebes Explodes.” Each piece contributes to the game’s immersive storytelling and has become iconic in video game music history. Commenting on the addition, a Nintendo representative highlighted the company’s ongoing effort to preserve and share its classic soundtracks, explaining, 'By releasing the Super Metroid soundtrack on the Nintendo Music app, we’re giving both longstanding fans and new players an enhanced way to experience the music that helped define the Super Metroid experience.' Nintendo Switch Online continues to evolve as a premium subscription service, adding new features such as access to classic game libraries and exclusive music platforms.
The release of the Super Metroid soundtrack adds significant value to the app, providing a nostalgic touchpoint for the franchise’s dedicated fanbase while introducing the music to a broader audience via modern devices. The Nintendo Music app can be downloaded from the Google Play and iOS App Store in select regions.
Both platforms require users to have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription to stream the expanded catalogue, which now includes the complete Super Metroid score alongside other classic Nintendo soundtracks. For those eager to revisit the unforgettable auditory journey of Planet Zebes, Nintendo’s latest update to its music service delivers a welcome tribute to a game whose legacy continues to influence the industry.
