Sure thing. Let’s dive into this brain dump about, uh, Nintendo’s music world. See, Nintendo decided, “Hey, why not throw decades of our game tunes onto this app?” So here we are, strolling through almost 40 years of beats and bleeps.
Now, don’t get your hopes up if you’re not on the Nintendo Switch Online bandwagon because, y’know, it’s kinda exclusive. If you are, though, you can either stream or download to your heart’s content—assuming hearts have content limits. Ha. Mario’s catchiest tunes, Zelda’s epic soundscapes, and even Splatoon’s funky beats are all up for grabs. You can search by whatever tickles your fancy—game, track, playlist, or just swipe through screenshots. Yeah, that last one’s an odd choice, but options, right?
And brace yourself—the list of available game soundtracks is pretty long, and it’s just getting longer. Anyway, here’s a messy rundown:
Nintendo Switch: Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Kirby — not one but a couple of those (Forgotten Land, Star Allies), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a remastered Metroid Prime, Pikmin 4, the Pokémon duos (Legends: Arceus, Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield), Splatoon 2 and 3, Super Mario Odyssey and Wonder, and those classic Zelda journeys with Breath of the Wild and Skyward Sword. Phew.
Wii U: Brief pitstop here—Mario Kart 8 and yet again Breath of the Wild.
3DS: Oh, Luigi’s Mansion! Mario Kart 7, and don’t forget StreetPass Mii Plaza, which honestly feels like a fever dream now.
Wii: A nostalgia bomb—Super Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword (again? Apparently!), all those Wii Channels, and the universally-loved Wii Sports.
DS: Brain Training (who doesn’t need it?), nintendogs (remember when we all wanted virtual puppies?), and the quirky Tomodachi Collection.
Game Boy Advance: Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and Golden Sun. Solid choices.
N64: Ah, the classics—F-Zero X, Star Fox (or Lylat Wars if you fancy), Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Wave Race 64. All the good feels.
Super NES: Get ready for the Kong family saga—Donkey Kong Country and its sequels, Super Mario Kart and World(s), A Link to the Past… fantastic stuff.
Game Boy: Dr. Mario, the OG Kirby’s Dream Land, and Tetris. Basics covered.
NES: Dr. Mario (again), Kid Icarus in stereo with the Famicom version, Metroid in both formats, classic Super Mario Bros. trilogy, Tetris, and Zelda—the legend continues.
Oh, and did I mention it’s all free with the Nintendo Switch Online sub? Droid app, endless tunes—like a buffet for your ears, and trust me, it just never stops growing.
Okay, I think that’s it. Or did I miss something? Never mind, you’ll figure it out. Enjoy the tunes!
