Nintendo has unveiled a new music application that may be ideal for enhancing your study ambiance. This Nintendo Music app allows users to explore and enjoy soundtracks from a variety of the company’s beloved games directly on their mobile devices. Exclusively available for members of Nintendo Switch Online, users must log in with their Nintendo account after downloading the app.

Currently, the app showcases an array of tracks from popular Nintendo Switch titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Splatoon 3. Additionally, it offers a selection of soundtracks from classic titles on older consoles, including Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii and Nintendogs for the DS.

Beyond just games, it features a special album dedicated to Wii Channels, allowing users to enjoy the nostalgic tunes of the Wii Shop Channel at leisure. Nintendo has also indicated that the app will receive updates in the future, adding even more music for fans to explore.

After giving the app a try, I found several features to be quite impressive. Custom playlists, personalized recommendations, offline song saving, and the ability to extend some tracks for up to an hour enhance the listening experience. I also appreciate the automated section that highlights games you have previously played on Nintendo Switch.

The app incorporates in-game images instead of conventional album covers and mentions that some may include spoilers. Fortunately, users can manage a spoiler block list in the settings, preventing music from specific games from appearing if desired.
