Rather than actually include their soundtracks on popular platforms, Nintendo graciously offers their own mobile app locked behind the Switch online subscription…

    I’ve tried it and have a few thoughts:

    Initial selection is only 23 games, not sure why they’re not just releasing everything. I guess they’re planning on parceling the music out like their emulators.

    The choices of games are also kind of strange, like why 2 versions of Metroid? Why starfox 64 and not like Mario 64

    The ability to extend songs up to 60 minutes is pretty cool

    The idea of character specific playlists is interesting

    It crashes semi frequently, not a good sign.

    It does add value to the Switch online membership, but not much at this point.

      This was something i noticed too. I probably won’t be using the app much because i already have all their music i want in my iTunes cloud library but the selection is odd and the choice too release the music selectively feels strange too me. I feel like they’d get more profit if they had most of their stuff on their from the get go
