Ever wanted to listen to music from your favorite video games on the go? Nintendo announced a new mobile app called Nintendo Music, which features tracks from games such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Metroid Prime, Donkey Kong Country, Animal Crossing: New Horizons and much more.
Available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, the Nintendo Music app is free to download for the Apple iPhone and Android smartphones starting on Thursday, Oct. 31. While the app itself is free to download, you have to be a Nintendo Switch Online member to access it.
Memberships are available for purchase at Target with prices starting at $7.99 for three months, which breaks down to about $2.66 per month. Nintendo Switch Online is available at Amazon and Walmart too.
Nintendo Music features key musical moments across very popular Nintendo titles with background and offline play, while you can create your own playlists to mix and match tracks from various franchises. You can enjoy extended playback of specific tracks up to 60 minutes without interruption.
Meanwhile, a membership to Nintendo Switch Online gets you access to, not only the Nintendo Music app, but also online multiplayer mode for select titles, backup cloud data storage and a curated library of playable NES, Super Nintendo and Game Boy games. Learn more about Nintendo Switch Online.
