Bruh, this is arguably a bigger NSO feature than the MMO game lol looks incredibly well made! Gonna try it out tonight.
Two N64 M-rated games, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, and now Nintendo Music? Wasn’t this supposed to be the week NSW2 was to be revealed? What is going on at Nintendo?? Lol.
Don't forget the Nintendo alarm clock xD
I fricking love Nintendo!
Love it so far! They have quite a lot of music from Kazumi Totaka and Hip Tanaka.
Totaka is the inspiration for KK Slider, and he also created all the excellent Wii Channel music. Hip Tanaka is behind the excellent (even if short) Metroid soundtrack, and Earthbound fans will hear something familiar there because he did that soundtrack too - although Earthbound isn’t up there yet - but I’d be surprised if it was long.
So, my recommendations so far are:
Totaka: Wii Channels
Hip Tanaka: Metroid
Breath of the Wild
Koji Kondo/Mahito Yokota: Super Mario Galaxy
This brings to focus that the app isn't crediting the composers of any tracks. That needs to be fixed with the next update.

Thank you Nintendo!! I Loved it!!!
Base NSO? Cool, will try it out.
wow, I was always wondering why they don't use their music since many random youtube channels get millions of views just by uploading Nintendo OSTs
Just tried it out. Missing quite a lot of games but it is a start. Seem to have a few bugs, cannot use the search function without the app freezing. But sound quality is good and I like the small Nintendo-like features of selecting music based on a specific character.
I just downloaded and messed with it a bit.
The premise is freaking AWESOME!
How long have fans been begging for Nintendo to put their music on iTunes or Spotify and then they just turn around and make their own Spotify? XD
The idea and premise is extremely promising, but the selection right now is rather on the lackluster side.
For example: Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild are there, GREAT! Where's Majora's Mask? Wind Waker? Twilight Princess? Skyward Sword? Tears of the Kingdom?
Super Mario Galaxy is there, AWESOME! What else is there for the Wi- Oh, that's it?
Why is Blazing Blade the only Fire Emblem OST on here?
Why is Scarlet/Violet the only Pokemon OST?
AND WHERE ON EARTH IS THE XENOBLADE CHRONICLES TRILOGY?!?
I'm sure they'll add more to this as time goes on like they do with NSO and we'll eventually get an AMAZING app of Nintendo music. But for now... Eh.
But how many games will we be able to hear music from? Will it spand all generations of Nintendo?
This is unironically better than a good chunk of games or "perks" offered on NSO. Thankfully, no Expansion Pack needed.
About time! Hopefully it gets updated frequently as there isn't much on there atm
Nice. Super Mario Galaxy and Tropical Freeze will be listened to alot:)
