Play tracks in the background, while your device's screen is off or if you're using a different app.

◆ Offline Playback
Download tracks to your device for offline listening.

◆ Spoiler Prevention
Don't want to hear tracks from a game you haven't played yet? You can limit the display and playback of songs included in a game's track list in the settings of the app.

◆ Extended Playback
Some tracks can be played for longer! The music will continue to play without interruption, just like background music in a game as an accompaniment to study or work.
Note: The length of tracks can be set to 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes long.

◆ Hourly Tracks
Some playlists in the Animal Crossing series can be played to match the hour in your local time with the in-game music tracks for those times.

◆ Playlists
In addition to offering tracks from games, there are playlists with different themes, such as playlists with tracks for individual characters, tracks you can relax to, tracks that play during battle, and more. You can also organize tracks into personalized playlists.

◆ Apple CarPlay
The app can be used with your car's built-in display.

Update-like idk it’s been a year or something since I posted this and um well it’s STILL NOT HERE!!!! WHERE IS IT!,!,!?

### 5/5 — Nintendo Music

*2026-08-19, version 1.7.0*

A great music application for listening to Nintendo video game soundtracks!

### 5/5 — Great app, always improving

*2026-08-19, version 1.7.0*

I love Nintendo music, because the devs add new tracks almost every week. There is always small changes to be made, of course, and no app is perfect, like having a better track suggestion algorithm would help, but all in all it’s very solid. Also please add Nintendo switch sports tracks!

### 5/5 — Amazing but two issues

*2026-08-19, version 1.7.0*

This is such a good app! There are so many amazing features and the music is just so good. However there is no Mario kart super circuit, double dash, ds, or even Mario kart Wii! Please add those soon🙏 also, after the new update if I close the screen on an app other than the Nintendo music app it just freezes whenever I go back in, it’s pretty annoying and please fix it. But it’s still a really awesome app!
