This is the type of thing that 5 years from now will be trivia.
“Did you know? For just over 3 months, Nintendo Online allowed it’s users to stream music? It’s true! Starting in late October, and continueing into January 2025, you could listen to dozens of Nintendo music. Then Nintendo disconinued the service for…no reason.”
I agree, but with a much longer time window.
5 years from now the headline will be “Nintendo sunsetting music service” with the top comment being “What service?”.
The apps are already built and will require very little maintenance. Since it’s a “value add” it doesn’t need many users to convince Nintendo to keep it turned on.
Ok, I mean you make logical sense, buuuuut…Mario 35.
Lol, you’re right. I forgot Nintendo be Nintendo. You might be right.
It even has the Wii Channels music!
no. fucking. way. what a good Wednesday.
Hmm adding their music to streaming services would be better, so i could do playlist of game music from nintendo, square enix and so on. But i guess better than nothing. Waiting for a lot more Fire Emblem Soundtrack
The lack of official soundtracks in Spotify are the mean reason I use YT music for that.
I’d be down for this if they add a looping feature, since it’s all gonna be VGM anyway. e.g. maybe I like 7 minutes of the Brinstar theme but only 2 minutes of New Donk City or something.Maybe tap a button to “queue” up more loops. I hope they go crazy with it.
There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of their game music library on it. ToTK isn’t even on there.
It’s like 8 total games. They are probably going for their stupid drip release strategy.
Well, at least drip release means that I can rip the music on a set schedule to distribute to more people/place in other repositories.
Fuck Nintendo for having their legendary composers make some of the most iconic music in gaming and then making them practically unlistenable in a legal manner.
For example: why the fuck is the legal distribution of the Cadence of Hyrule soundtrack limited to 25 vinyl presses given to Twitter winners, and NOTHING ELSE???
silvagunner died for this make sure it’s good
Good time to plug a service I enjoy.
I’m not sure how I feel about this.
In a vacuum, the app itself is a nice value add for your NSO subscription. I like that they have both single-length and extended versions of each track, so you can loop them seamlessly without an intro/outro. Loopable OSTs can be hard to find sometimes, when I was trying to decide what BGM to use for a li’l video essay I recently put out I had to narrow it down to something I could find an extended version of.
But what’s annoying is that this is the only official way to listen to Nintendo music. It’s either this, unofficial rips on Youtube (and I would not be surprised if these start getting taken down), or the seven seas.
I just wanna buy an album and listen to it offline, DRM-free. I want to be able to shuffle these tracks in with the rest of my music library.
But that’s been a problem since before the new app, so I can’t really blame the app for this, can I?
I have mixed feelings. It’s a neat idea (and it took them fuckin’ ages as well), but at the same time it requires a NSO subscription and even then I’d just stick to downloaded MP3s imo
Wow, this has made my day! Their games have some of the best music!
I desperately want them to add tracks from Super Mario bros 2
Just let people buy the mp3s. Not everything has to be another app and subscription
I’m so happy rn omg 😭
Nintendo has been taking down music for some years now, and now it wants to release a music service. They should had done this a long time ago.
The last thing i’m worried about being spoiled about is a video games soundtrack.
