Nintendo Co. has released Nintendo Music, a smartphone app that allows users to listen to video game music.
Paid subscribers of Nintendo Switch Online can use the app to listen to soundtracks from Nintendo games like Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda.
Music from the original Family Computer, known as Famicom, to the most recent Nintendo Switch is available in the app.
In addition to music related to specific game characters, app users can enjoy playlists in categories like “In the Middle of a Battle” and “Relaxing.” While the music is playing, a scene from the game will be displayed on the screen.
Users can also create their own playlists.
Nintendo said users can hide specific soundtracks to avoid spoilers for games they haven’t completed yet.
