• The Nintendo Music app has launched on Android and iOS, allowing fans to stream and download official soundtracks.
• The service requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, which starts at $4/month or $20/year.
• Some of the app’s features include spoiler prevention, soundtrack extension, and curated playlists.

There’s a new music streaming app in town, but it’s not here to compete with established platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Nintendo Music has launched on mobile with a limited catalog that caters to its fans. The app offers a ton of official soundtracks extracted from its games, in addition to unique features designed specifically for this purpose.



Nintendo has announced that its music streaming service is now available on Android and iOS. The app is free to download, but accessing its content requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership. The base plan costs $4 monthly (or $20 annually), unlocking online gaming on the Switch, Nintendo classics, cloud storage for saving game progress, and more. So, those already subscribed to the premium service can now use Nintendo Music to stream and download audio tracks at no extra charge.
