How much do you use Nintendo Music? What are your favorite soundtracks? What needs to be added? What complaints do you have?
I don't use it at all. Pointless app.
one soundtrack a week is very lame considering how many nintendo game exists and some weeks they will upload some early nes/gb game with 5 sec music loops and call it a week.
I rarely have the urge to listen to video game music outside the games themselves. I do have a few game soundtracks saved to my music library (mostly not Nintendo games) but it's all stuff that just mixes in with my default background music playlist with all the other downtempo electronica and synthwave and youtube meme fusion jazz or whatever.
>>740027602so did they make this because zoomers don't understand file systems and digital music ownership/ripping/storage, or what?even in the 3DS era we were still getting soundtracks on CD.
>>740027602i pirate all nintendo music. nintendo can fuck off until they put their music on regular streaming services like everyone including sega and sony
>>740028438essentially impossible to get your hands on, especially if you were outside us/jp
It's all available on Youtube for free
>he casually listens to video game musicThis is why your dick is perpetually dry
It feels like this app killed physical soundtrack releases….
>>740027602Mostly use it to listen to splatoon tracks.
>>740029053you still get vinyl slop.
I listen to it every now and then. I like vocal-less tracks to work or sleep to. Mostly Splatoon, DK and Kirby. Roll out aside, the app is actually great. Really well structured for games, which other music streaming apps don’t offer and would be annoying to set up yourself
nintendo's obsession with ending their 'official' releases with slow fadeouts is so strong that they have a special category of 'extendable' song that doesn't have that fadeout and can be sensibly looped
>>740027602Built-in extensions alone make me use it very often, specially offline. Been begging for years for shit like Spotify to add something like it.>>740029053Still going strong (in Japan) for a few different releases, though there's definitely a few games I sorely miss having CDs for. The other issue is that it normally takes a year or 3 after a game's release for the soundtrack to come out. For example, the SMRPG remake came out 2023, but the OST wasn't out until 2025. Music licensing a bastard and I think the reason stuff gets tossed on Nintendo Music (relatively) quickly for some games is that they just... don't have to bother with those hoops seeing as the app is owned by themselves. Closest thing is Air Riders' OST not being complete due to some tracks coming from RBaY and needing a whole other set of licensing hurdles to hop over. No need to figure out who's handling the printing or managing the rights to license it out to Spotify. Does make me wish they'd do releases more often with that in mind though.>>740030495>nintendo's obsession with ending their 'official' releases with slow fadeoutsIsn't that just industry standard for most soundtrack releases? If anything I appreciate the app for being one of the only music players I've seen to natively support OGG-style loop points, given in a lot of cases even if the track doesn't have a slow fadeout, you still get the intro replay which is mildly annoying. Kind of odd the Pokemon games don't support extensions given those games very much have loop points set up, I can only imagine it's due to tracks that are considered 1 single track but have different phases to it that can loop on their own in-game (i.e. Gym Leaders having the base and Last Pokemon variants being all 1 single track as more of a medley.)
