Nintendo Music App Adds Wii Sports Soundtrack
Nintendo’s recently launched Nintendo Music app has continued to grow its library, with the Wii Sports soundtrack added to the service on November 12, 2024.
The app — initially announced on social media in late October 2024 — offers fans an official way to listen to decades of Nintendo game music on Nintendo Switch and other supported platforms.
Background and recent additions
The Nintendo Music app entered public awareness in late October and Nintendo confirmed at launch that it would add more soundtracks over time.
Last week the company expanded the library with Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest, and on November 12, 2024 the app received another classic score: music from Wii Sports.
Wii Sports originally shipped alongside the Wii console in 2006 and is one of Nintendo’s most recognizable titles.
Its soundtrack, associated with the motion-controlled sports experiences that helped define the Wii era, is now available to listen to within the Nintendo Music app.
Official statements and paraphrased remarks
Nintendo stated that additional soundtracks will be added to the Nintendo Music app in the future; in journalistic terms, the company confirmed an ongoing content rollout for the service rather than a one-time release.
Social coverage of the Wii Sports addition was shared on November 12, 2024 by user OatmealDome, who posted a notice that the Wii Sports music had been added to the app’s catalog.
What this means for players and collectors
For Nintendo Switch owners and music-focused fans, the Nintendo Music app provides a curated, official source for game soundtracks that previously appeared across albums, re-releases, and occasional digital collections.
Adding high-profile scores such as Donkey Kong Country 2 (a 1995 SNES release) and Wii Sports (2006) demonstrates Nintendo’s approach of incrementally expanding the catalog with legacy and franchise-defining music.
Where to find it
If you have a Nintendo Switch, check the Nintendo Music app or Nintendo’s social channels for updates and new soundtrack additions.
Nintendo has signaled that more soundtracks will follow, so expect further library growth in coming weeks and months.
Verified facts in this report are based on Nintendo’s public announcements, the app’s launch timeline in late October 2024, the documented additions of Donkey Kong Country 2 and Wii Sports to the app, and the November 12, 2024 social post noting the Wii Sports upload.
