If you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, Nintendo has just released a new benefit for its users. Nintendo Music is a new mobile app that allows you to listen to soundtracks of various games. From NES titles all the way up to current Switch releases, there's OSTs of many first-party Nintendo games, organized by characters, artists, franchises, and mood-based playlists. For those worried about spoilers for games through track titles, there's also a spoiler-prevention option. Nintendo plans to release more albums over time, as well. Nintendo Music is currently available to download, exclusively for NSO subscribers.

Enjoy Nintendo game music—now on your smart device! Nintendo Music features a variety of tracks from Nintendo franchises, plus curated playlists based on characters, in-game moments, and moods. From recent releases to nostalgic classics, even more music will be added in the future.

Atleast they let you download the music. Wish it was the same with the Switch online retro games.

it is the same though. those games are downloaded

still nothing on goolge play store

if you cant find it search for another nintendo app and then click on nintendo to see other apps by them, it should be there

They can shove that NSO subscription up Shiggy's behind. Can't believe people are okay with paying a subscription fee for music from games they've already purchased.

Idk. This argument is getting weaker. 3 years ago, I may have been with you, but it's hard to argue that there isn't $20/year worth of content included in the subscription now

and the same goes for a lot of arguements like how Nintendo's legal actions will only spur more emulators and fangames.... and then the one-two punch of the sheer stupidity of the yuzu team using the switch SDK for the emulator alongside thier brazen attitude in regards to piracy happened and the original ryujinx dev selling out, and then this now happened so youtube uploads are going to be fucked super hard becuase of YT's assinine copyright system siding with coprorations (and copyright trolls to an exent) and so will other game music sites should they end up acting as brazen about uploading mp3 files as people do about ROMs now.

I am sure as always (post gamecube era) Nintendo will be right on the edge of technology.
Using the most bleeding edge mp3 compression algorithm to deliver much smaller streaming filesizes compared to .wav,
instead of using an actually decent codec.

Epic.

Don't tell Nintendo.

I was happy about it until the part it requires NSO. No "Free with Ads" option. :/

So you can download the music but downloading an mp3 from there isnt possible unless you crack their widevine drm. I dont have any idea why nintendo even bothered as it can be screen captured easily as widevine will still play the audio.

They added Super Mario Bros. Wonder to the app now

Damn, that was fast.
If they keep this pace up, I can honestly see myself using this app a lot.

 

[kcmando]

Yes. My gaming soundtrack playlist has more than 300 titles from various games and it's great as background music for work and focusing.


sounds dangerously based

ahhh that makes sense, no hate i was just curious since I usually listen to it once and that's it for me but having as background music for studying or anything similar makes sense

Related to this, I'm curious if anybody's been able to grab downloaded files from jailbroken/open devices and run the music through spectrogram analysis. The app *does* allow downloads for offline listening, and I can't help but wonder whether there's a harsh frequency cutoff or anything like that.

It's hard to even get the app working on open devices. The app closes itself immediately on my rooted phone and I've seen others with the same issue. No confirmation of it working on a rooted/jailbroken phone

whatever the cheapest way and relies on the least amount of effort is. that's their motto

 

[Spider_Man]

Benefit?

Who is actually going to sit on their journey listening to old shitty nintendo game soundtracks, or even be it current.

Just more crap they give its idiotic sheep to make them think they're actually getting something for this piss poor "premium" subscription.

Guess what, its more shit you can already get for free, and no, I dont mean illegally either.

But I bet nintendo will now add this to their list of shit to send their legal dogs after to have shut down or sue for millions in bullshit "damages".

You need to send a POST request containing the header (and cookies) with the keys derived from the Nintendo Mobile app. Perhaps you could sniff the connection and dump the buffer if you wanted to.

you already found your answer

Great, now to only wait for someone to reverse engineer it so I can listen for free without a subscription like they've done to Spotify, Tidal, Youtube Music, Deezer etc. At least we know why so many YT channels got nuked.

Nintendo really are making themselves less popular every year. In a couple of years they'll be as popular as Blizzard are. Last straw for this company in my eyes was going after emulator devs.

you don't need to do that all these so called PREMIUM ost are out there right there free to download if you know where to look (like a certain K site). you don't need their shitty app any mp3 player will do (like aimp) and i guarantee any mp3 player will work a lot better than their shit app too.
