New from Nintendo: Spotify-style music app

While everyone is waiting for official news about Switch 2, Nintendo continues to amaze with very unique advertising. First there was the Sound Clock Alarmo alarm clock, and now it’s time Nintendo MusicSpotify-style music app.

Yes, believe it or not, Nintendo now has its own music streaming platform. With Nintendo Music, users can access the entire catalog of songs and soundtracks from the Japanese company’s games. A curious proposal, but it will certainly appeal to fans of the brand.

Nintendo Music works just like any other app in this genre, so if you habitual from Spotify, Apple Music, etc. you will find very familiar functions. As we have already said, the service is limited to providing access to music from Nintendo games and franchisesso you are sure that your playlist from Animal Crossing It won’t mix with the latest hits from Rosalía, Bad Bunny or Taylor Swift.

Nintendo Music’s interface is almost identical to Spotify’s, so you won’t encounter any big surprises when browsing through it. The music featured on the platform is divided by the games it belongs to, although curated and curated playlists are also offered under different themes.

In this sense, the application, available for both iOS and Android, allows you to browse songs based on or inspired by characters such as Mario, Zelda or Bowseramong others. Nintendo Music also includes playlists to suit your mood, allowing you to create your own selection of music to suit your tastes.

Nintendo Music is the “Spotify” big N

It’s important to note that Nintendo Music isn’t limited to providing music from Nintendo games via streaming. The app offers the option to download the songs you want and then listen to them without an Internet connection.

Since this is video game music, the tracks are usually not as long as “regular” songs. That’s why Nintendo Music offers not only the ability to listen to them on a loop, but also extend its duration by 15, 30 or even 60 minutes. However, it is worth saying that this is only available for select parts.

Another important difference from traditional music platforms like Spotify and Apple Music is that Nintendo includes “spoiler avoidance”. This allows players to select specific titles that they prefer to exclude from their listening experience without the music ruining their conclusion. A tool that was clearly designed for those who are immersed in a game that they have not yet finished.

Nintendo has published a list of countries where Nintendo Music is now available. They appear in it Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and Peru.. Please note that while the app is free to download from the App Store and Play Store, a Nintendo Switch Online subscription is required to use it.

Those who have already paid for this service can start using the music platform right now. Otherwise they will have to pay from 3.99 USD/EUR or 79 MXN per month to gain access. It’s important to note that Nintendo is offering a 7-day free trial of Switch Online and its integrated services, which is ideal for those who aren’t sure if they want to join the paid plans.
