Nintendo has unveiled Nintendo Music, which is a music app that only Nintendo Switch Online members can access. With this, you’ll be able to download and stream music from various Nintendo soundtracks.
There are several ways to look for tracks you like. You can do so via series, character, or mood. You can also search up in-game artists from the Splatoon games if there’s an artist you like. As a note though, the actual real-life composers are not in the credits of the tracks. For example, Teruo Taniguchi composed “Battle! (Team Star Boss)” for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, his name does not show up in the Nintendo Music app.
The same goes for “Calamari Inkantation” from Splatoon 3. While the app lists it under “Deep Cut x Squid Sisters,” that’s the in-game artist. In reality, series composer Shiho Fujii composed it and keity performed it. It’s unknown if Nintendo will start crediting the real-life artists in the future.
A feature that some fans may particularly enjoy is that you can designate how long a track plays for. There are already some extended tracks and playlists to listen to. But you can also do that for individual tracks, with 60 minutes or an hour as the maximum.
You can download Nintendo Music through Google Play or the Apple App Store. As a reminder, you need to be a member of Nintendo Switch Online to use this app.
