Nintendo has expanded its Nintendo Music app catalog with a fresh batch of tracks from Yoshi, the 1991 puzzle game developed by Game Freak.
Launched in October 2024, the Nintendo Music app is available free to Nintendo Switch Online members and can be downloaded for iOS and Android devices from their respective app stores.
The service continues to add classic and modern soundtracks from Nintendo's library.
This update delivers roughly 40 minutes of music from Yoshi, split between two platform versions: the Game Boy release contributes 18 tracks, while the NES variant supplies 11 tracks.
There are no newly added curated playlists as part of this refresh.
However, the app's Extended-Playback Collection remains available, enabling listeners to play select tracks in a seamless loop without manual restarting.
In clear, journalistic terms: 'Since its October 2024 launch, Nintendo Music — free to Nintendo Switch Online members — has steadily expanded, adding new soundtracks from Nintendo's catalog and offering features like the Extended-Playback Collection to improve listening continuity.'
Game Freak, the developer behind Yoshi, is widely recognized in the industry for its long-running work on the Pokémon franchise and for developing titles across handheld and console platforms.
Yoshi first appeared in 1991 as a puzzle entry credited to Game Freak and has seen multiple platform variations; this update highlights the differences in soundtrack content between the Game Boy and NES builds.
Availability and platforms
- App platforms: Nintendo Music is available now on iOS and Android via the App Store and Google Play.
- Access: The service is free for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, consistent with Nintendo's positioning of value-added services for its online membership.
Why this matters
For preservation-minded players and fans of retro soundtracks, the Nintendo Music additions make it easier to access classic compositions from legacy hardware without sourcing original cartridges or emulation.
The inclusion of both Game Boy and NES variants underscores how soundtrack presentation can vary by platform and release.
