The Nintendo Music app provides access to a collection of soundtracks from various popular Nintendo games. Users can browse and listen to music from titles such as Pikmin 4, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Splatoon 3, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Kirby Star Allies, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Metroid Prime, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, and Donkey Kong Country. It is important to note that not all tracks from these entire games will be available, but a wide selection of iconic music is included for fans to enjoy.
The app offers extended playback options, allowing listeners to lengthen certain tracks up to 5, 10, 15, 30, or even 60 minutes. This feature is ideal for creating a continuous music experience, which can be particularly useful when studying, working, or relaxing. However, not every track supports this extended playback, so users may need to select specific ones for longer listening sessions.
Users can download their favorite tracks onto their devices to listen offline, making it possible to enjoy music without an internet connection. Additionally, tracks can be played in the background, enabling users to multitask or use other apps while music continues to play. A sleep timer is also available, allowing users to set a specific time for playback to stop, helping them drift off to sleep with their preferred tunes.
Creating custom playlists is another feature offered by the app, giving users the ability to organize and personalize their listening experience according to their preferences. To access the app, a Nintendo Switch Online membership and a Nintendo Account are required, along with a compatible device running Android 9.0 or later. The service is subject to regional availability, and users should be aware of the terms and conditions associated with their subscription and use of online features.
