Nintendo put online a mobile application called Nintendo Music this week, which provides streaming access to the soundtrack of the most emblematic games in its portfolio, from Mario to Zelda, Metroid, Splatoon and Animal Crossing. Available on iOS and on Androidthe Nintendo Music application is reserved for owners of a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
Always very protective when it comes to intellectual property, especially with regard to its historical licenses, Nintendo could have distributed its catalog through the major specialized platforms in the sector. But, as is often the case, the Kyoto firm has decided to go it alone, with the aim of improving the value proposition and therefore the attractiveness of its subscription offer dedicated to players.
Publishing its own application also allows Nintendo to offer an experience that is specific to its universe, with the possibility of selecting the available music according to the game, the character, the atmosphere, or even certain themes, such as “ combat de boss ».
« Other music from a wide selection of series will be added to the service gradually », Promises the publisher, who also praises the integration of a filter to hide the original soundtracks associated with a title that the user has not yet played, in order to avoid early disclosure.
