Nintendo has launched the Nintendo Music app, finally making some of its music available for streaming on a mobile device.
For many years players have been asking Nintendo to make its music available on streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music, but instead Nintendo has decided to launch its own service.
To access Nintendo Music, you need to be subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online. Without a subscription you don’t even have access to the list of songs available in the app.
Nintendo has said it will continue to add more music to the app as time goes on, but on day one there are currently 23 soundtracks with a total running time of 65 hours and 27 minutes.
The running time can actually be made longer for some of these, because Nintendo has given the option to loop some tracks and extend their length to 15, 30 or 60 minutes.
Below is a list of every soundtrack currently available on Nintendo Music, along with their default durations (without extending any tracks). We’ll continue to update the list as more soundtracks are added.
