Nintendo Music app now available on iPhone
by Wesley Hilliard · AppleInsiderNintendo Music is a new iPhone app that lets Nintendo Online subscribers listen to a growing collection of music from games across the catalog.
It's not difficult to find video game music on streaming services like Apple Music or websites like YouTube, but Nintendo is offering a more official solution. So, if you want to listen to video game soundtracks with a bit more curation and control from Nintendo, there's now an app for that.
Nintendo Music launched Wednesday night as a surprise from the company. It is available to download for free from the App Store.
The service features soundtracks from across all generations of Nintendo consoles from franchises including Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, and many more. There are curated playlists based on characters, games, or themes like starting off an adventure.
While much of these soundtracks are available on Apple Music, there are key advantages to having them in a separate app and service. First, you'll not have to worry about video game music clogging up your recommendation algorithm in Apple Music, for example.
There's also an important feature only Nintendo would think of — spoilers. Users can toggle off spoilers for specific games so titles, images, and music won't potentially spoil a game they haven't played or finished yet.
Nintendo Music is available to download on iPhone and iPad via the App Store. The service requires an active subscription to Nintendo Online.
