Not content with letting services like Spotify and YouTube grab all the video game music love, Nintendo saw fit to release its own app called Nintendo Music. True to the name, Nintendo Music is a dedicated app for playing music from Nintendo games from the past four decades, from Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda to Splatoon 3 and beyond.
There are playlists, with the order of the songs changing on a daily basis, and users can choose to loop specific songs for up to 60 minutes. You have to use your Nintendo Switch Online account to use the app, so it knows what you play and caters its recommendations accordingly.
