Nintendo Launches New Music Streaming Service

Mario Brothers and Animal Crossing fans can unite in excitement today, as Nintendo has just launched its own music streaming service. 

The service, Nintendo Music, will provide access to some of Nintendo’s iconic game songs without the need to power up the Wii or Switch. This includes songs from Nintendo franchises such as Animal Crossing, Pokemon, The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Mario, and Nintendo Wii. 

As of October 31st, the Nintendo Music app is now free to download for Android and Apple iPhone smartphones. Although the app is free to download, accessing it requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership, which can be purchased for $5.95 per month. 

Along with music streaming and Switch Access, the Nintendo Switch Online Membership also gives access to backup cloud storage, online multiplayer mode for select titles, and a plethora of Game Boy, NES, and Super Nintendo games.
