Nintendo has launched its take on Spotify with the new Nintendo Music app, offering fans a chance to stream and download decades worth of soundtracks from classic games like Super Mario Bros, Animal Crossing and The Legend of Zelda.

Available now on iOS and Android for subscribers of Switch Online, the app not only features music from beloved titles but also includes soundtracks from new releases, with more content to be added over time.

Using Nintendo Music, you can stream your favourite Nintendo songs directly from the app or download them for offline listening. The app allows you to search for tracks by title, browse music from specific game series, or discover tunes themed around your favourite Nintendo characters. You can also build your own playlists and share them with friends. Alternatively, choose from playlists created by Nintendo designed to help you relax, give you a boost and more.

The app also offers personalised recommendations based on your Nintendo Switch play activity. For instance, if you start playing a new game that has a soundtrack available in the library, Nintendo Music will notify you, so you’ll never miss out on the latest musical additions to your gaming experience.

Impressively, the app also features the ability to filter out specific tracks so users can avoid spoilers for in-game moments. And if all that isn’t enough to convince you, the fact that you can now loop or extend tracks — like Animal Crossing’s opening theme (we definitely aren’t judging) — for up to 60 minutes of “uninterrupted listening” just might.

Check out the launch video for Nintendo Music below.
