In an interview with Nippon Television News, a spokesperson for Nintendo explained why the company made the Nintendo Music app- which lets Nintendo Switch Online members listen to music from Nintendo classics both old and new in the palm of their hands.
Roughly translated, here’s what Nintendo shared with the news outlet:
“We believe that game music is an important and valuable piece of content in order to expand the number of people who have access to Nintendo IPs and Nintendo Music is a service that allows us to deliver this game music in a way that is unique to Nintendo. You can enjoy the unique features of Nintendo Music, such as being able to enjoy music along with screenshots, and being provided with playlists based not only on game titles, but also on various game-related themes and perspectives, such as ‘characters’ and ‘music during battles.’ We believe that if Nintendo Music reminds you of your favorite gaming experiences, it will also inspire you to want to play the games again.”
The latest inclusion to the app has been the soundtrack for Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
It joins the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Galaxy, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and many more of Nintendo’s games that have had their soundtracks added to the app.
