Knowing Nintendo, they might start cracking down on music that isn't even available in the app. This could result in a massive loss of SO MANY game soundtracks from the internet, especially ones that might not be "marketable" enough to put on the app. We'll have to wait and see what happens, I guess.
Most likely, but I feel like they would've done that months in advance if that's the case. Everytime they take down something on a random day, it's because they're working on something similar, which we don't see until months later. I think things will just stay the same as they are right now with takedowns at the same pacing as always. Plus this app is tied to NSO with only a small handful of Switch game music. Even they must know that people aren't paying $20 yearly just for a handpicked amount of game music.
I wouldn't. Nintendo is and has been for quite some time a company solely thriving off the appeal of their exclusive IPs. It was only a logical solution to monetize those IPs in as many avenues as possible. Don't forget about amiibos, LEGO partnerships, theme parks and so on. That's also why they sue developers of emulators and DMCA YT channels featuring Nintendo content. They want and need their audience to depend on them for these IPs and content related to them.
As much as I appreciate this, it does pain me to see how there’s ZERO credit for the composers. It just says Nintendo. Even when you tap the little “info” button, it just says Nintendo. That’s not cool guys…hope they implement composer credits in the future.
Almost kind of reminds me of when they didn't credit Grant Kirkhope when they used the DK Rap in the Mario movie. I'm really hoping this isn't becoming a new bad habit for Nintendo when it comes to their music.
@@hododod246 So does that mean Nintendo should also stop crediting game developers as well? After all they already got their paycheck, right? Nintendo is making billions off of their recognizable brands and those composers creating iconic soundtracks is the only reason anyone is even interested in this app. _The least they could do_ is give credit where it's due.
It's cool finally having an actual official way to listen to Nintendo music, but on the other hand, the app's current lack of composer credits is quite noticable in my eyes I personally love looking into individual composers, and it's messed up that the app isn't entertaining the idea of letting newcomers learn about this kind of stuff too (For example, how many people out there know of someone like Ryo Nagamatsu, who's worked on games like Wii Sports Resort, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe)
Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. The composers really do deserve credit for their amazing work, and I really hope that they add this feature in some future update.
This is a legitimate complaint that should be given heavy feedback. Even if there are people that don't care about seeing the composers' name, credit is still warranted. Plus, searching music by composers is its own unique little ride.
for real... they legit present splatoon characters as "artists" (in contrast to the other regular character playlists) instead of naming a single musician/composer. That's peak corporate behaviour.
PLEASE for the love of god, let the updates for this be frequent. Once a week at LEAST. I would love to officially support this more, but so many of the osts on here are just reminding me of other Nintendo songs I want to listen to but aren't here, the lineup is puny right now
Exactly. If we only get a few songs a month, then it'll be ages before we get all of the tracks we actually want. I can already think of so many good soundtracks that aren't on there yet.
The sound library is huge, so I would hope they're more frequent than NSO classic games, or at least in bigger chunks. I'd also like it if: soundtracks get released on the same day a game comes out, or even a little bit later (like 1 week).
@@KeinNiemand Lmfao, for real? Damn, even in Nintendo’s own music app, Galaxy 2’s getting shafted. At this point you could tell me that Galaxy 2 never even existed and I’d believe it, the way Nintendo seem to be erasing it these days.
I downloaded the app: One of the biggest issues that I'm currently running in with Nintendo Music is that it doesn't have Nintendo's full soundtrack library, which shouldn't be a problem since they're gonna add more music as the days go by, and that's fine. Unfortunately, not all soundtracks like Breath of the Wild have every single song on there, and if its like that for one soundtrack, it'll probably be like that for others. Another problem that I am running into is, "Why?" "Why make their own service?" They should have released it on already pre-existing music streaming devices, so that everyone, not just people have an NSO account, can enjoy it." (And I get it, its probably for... money obviously, but, if you're gonna take the time to release the music on here, you may as well talk to other music streaming services to reach a wider audience). And the third thing, which is a question I think that is running in my mind is, is Nintendo gonna take down all of these songs that are already on UA-cam that you can listen to for free? Fair question I think. Edited: It does have all the tracks of BOTW.
Depending on your disposition and how much you care, online multiplayer access, Virtual Console and a music app with the soundtrack to dozens of games as one subscription can be a fair deal. I don't care much for music streaming (or this app even), but tacking it on an online subscription at no additional cost is not bad.
My only hope is that it is updated more frequently than the NSO apps, otherwise it will take me some time to adapt. I’m not expecting the Super Paper Mario soundtrack to come anytime soon, but within the year would be nice.
YES. Absolutely this, that's the main thing that has me skeptical about this even though I LOVE that they're finally making this after all these years. If they add more than like one soundtrack a month than maybe it could be worth it but given it's nintendo, idk how often they'll add to it
I hope we at least get every new game soundtrack as it releases. Kinda like NSO icons. Maybe we could also get two drops of a few game soundtracks a month.
I hope they're more frequent too considering how enormous the music library is. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but if they wanna get crazy with it, have a sound library too with some sound effects. Why? I don't know, but it'd be neat.
YES. To be honest, every Paper Mario game has astounding music, no matter how good the actual game is. I'm surprised we didn't even get The Origami King at launch.
Look Nintendo is comically anti-consumer but not that comically anti-consumer. Also I that was something they used to do and stopped because it kept pissing people off
We should also be worried about Restoration OST UA-camrs like Jammin' Sam Miller, Cloou, and Aqua MIDI. They could NOW be in danger by Nintendo's wrath.
So what I'm getting from this comments section is: - No composer credits - Pathetically small selection - Locked behind NSO which probably means incredibly slow updates Yup. It is ABSOLUTELY a smokescreen to justify more brash music takedowns. This isn't an app, it's an alibi.
Yeah, I could kinda see this coming considering how much they've been cracking down on music channels this year. I just hope they don't start taking down videos that use their music in general (They probably will), if they do, a significant portion of UA-cam in general will be lost. I saw a streamer earlier today utterly panic when the app was announced due to the implications it has for his VOD channel.
I'm just worried the "add to the service over time" will be like how they release like 3 games on NSO a month, and like a year from now we'll only have like 60 soundtracks from the most popular games.
considering the large lineup of "upcoming" OSTs shown in the trailer I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume they'll upload these way faster than NSO games. In fairness getting a classic game running well on their Switch emulation is probably a bit harder than uploading the .wav files of an OST and calling it a day.
The selection of games is pretty thin at the moment, but I'm seeing a few games listed with 100+ tracks. The biggest one at the moment appears to be Animal Crossing: The KK Slider collection for Animal Crossing looks complete, and it has both performance and instrumental variants for the tracks. Add on top of that the hourly tracks and the normal game tracks - there's a list of all of them with a count - 407 tracks in Animal Crossing. The KK Slider lists are worth checking out, there's a big variety of music styles - I think most people will find a few tracks they'll like.
I LOVE the detail that each individual track has its own unique image associated with the track. Like, they could've just put the box art for each song and called it a day, but they went ahead and added that extra touch. It adds so much personality and individuality.
yup, and downloading entire OSTs and having them in the same music app you already used for your other songs is still a better idea than what Nintendo could ever cook. Bad app. It is literally worse than what you could already do well over a decade ago.
@@guedesbrawlI personally enjoy my hoard of 90 GB of video game music from all sorts of consoles and publishers, all in one place, stored in my phone and PC locally. The way it should be, in my opinion.
I'm liking the app itself so far, can't wait for them to add more tracks. Only real gripe that I have is that I noticed that none of the composers are credited for the music they made. I'd appreciate if you'd appreciate the composers that work under you, Nintendo.
They've done copyright takedowns of game rips before they even had this excuse, though I've never heard of them attacking remixes or covers before, I'd imagine those are still safe.
@@Jasperr9999 Nintendo mentality is "fun made by us on our terms" they want to keep your experience with there games/consoles completely unique. (This often extends into crushing fangames). But remixes aren't there experience "stolen" so they don't take it down
As many apps as Nintendo is making, im starting to think they're switching their biz model over to data scraping. And now that they're finally officially hosting the tracks for streaming, i suspect they'll really start cracking down on every unauthorized use of it, including as bg music in UA-cam vids
With only like 20 Games and some of them like Splatoon 3 not even including some of the games main fan favoritr tracks while a neat idea, it needs WAY more to be viable
Well, give it some time. I mean, look at UA-cam, for example. It had nearly twenty years to exist to collect music. This app only just started to exist like for an hour or two. So, I think we should be fair and give this app some time to cook.
Have you checked that you are not just in the Top Tracks album? It seems to default to playing that. The ost contains 118 tracks. Are there still some missing? Can see some yt playlists have 128, and they might not include fanfares like the app?
@@HyenHks Big Betrayal and Suffer No Fools are both completely absent despite both (especially Big Betrayal) being fan favorite tracks. They are not on the service at all for no clear reason other than Nintendo saying not all tracks from a game will be on the service necessarily lol
@@MarioandLuigiplaygames17 yee, it definitely has potential, but missing songs of who knows when or if they'll be added combined with such a small collection could mean years until it feels usable.
@@crushfruits2660 Lmao I do like all these treats we're getting, but SWITCH 2 CMON NINTENDY. Maybe they're waiting until after the Holidays so they can squeeze out a few more Switch 1 sales.
I will say it is very baffling how we got 2 massive announcements out of absolutely nowhere with 0 buildup or anything. I've fully jumped onto the 2025 reveal side now, but it definitely does seem like they're getting ready for something big soon... Gamecube 2 is definitely happening next week.
@@jamieohjamie they may also be delaying the reveal becuase of some unexpected hardware block. one of the few things we know is that they are makeing shure they don't have a hardware shortage. (looks at ps5). and one of the areas we suspect was important for switch 2 production was hit by a hurricane. so they may be delaying the reveal so that we don't complain that the switch 2 is so far away. it would also make sense to wait till after the holidays becuase emagine if switch 2 hype overrided the hype of mario and luigi brothership. or some of the other titiles they are preping for the holiday season. that could actually hurt.
@@kittenfan7664 Yeah. A lot of their recent reveals have felt like filler. Game releases have slowed down a LOT. I think they are definitely padding for time.
This is especially cool for me because I’ll play music while I’m at work (and sometimes over Bluetooth speakers), and I like to play game music. But if I play music off of UA-cam, ads always get in the way. So now I have a solution! Plus, I’m hoping that Nintendo will use some data from this to see which soundtracks people will enjoy and will use it to cater to audiences in the future! F-Zero music, baby!
No matter what crappy product Nintendo pushes, you'll always find at least one fan who'll defend it for seeing a future for F-Zero in it. Hey, maybe if we all buy that stupid 100$ alarm clock, Nintendo will give us a new F-Zero?
@@FeixMan What’s with the negativity? All I did was share some joy by saying that I was glad that we have a Nintendo music service that’ll have F-Zero songs on it. Why respond such a sassy remark, especially on a video that’s also spreading positivity? Why can’t you just be happy?
So many people are about to discover the absolute PEAK that is moebius battle theme... As soon as they add xenoblade games to the library nintendo please I'm suffering FEED IT DIRECTLT INTO MY BLOOD STREAM
I’m actually kind of curious if Xenoblade tracks are going to come to the service. Those soundtracks are actually already on services like iTunes. The composers might want more than a “Nintendo” credit if their music comes to the service.
@@flob.1276 there's one up rn by max g. If you wanna take a gander its still at the top of my music playlist so im guessing its up. There was one that had like a million views though I remember commenting about the game with people, sucks nintendo had to go and ruin a fun thing but at least now they're dipping their toes into doing this. Took em an absurdly long time to do it but better late than never i suppose.
The biggest issue with this app is that it only has 23 game soundtracks on it and most are switch titles. There’s like absolutely no reason to use this thing until it’s got like EVERY game in crisp quality
@@PSDRProductions >more are on the way As if I would wait for some glorified noise maker to make more noises when I have UA-cam to make those noises for me.
@@PSDRProductionsIf you keep waiting for "the rest" you will end up very very disappointed. This is Nintendo, they only give you what they want to. And in this case they're not even giving, they're renting.
I truly believe Nintendo sees people engaging in fun and goes, "Not unless we say so." They'll stop something they never had an interest in, then replace it with their own thing just to justify it.
This is still a net loss for consumers, though. They made it a digital streaming service instead of allowing us to purchase it. Now, for forever, they get to charge us every single time we want to listen to their music. We will never ever get to personally purchase and own it. If I want to listen to The Windwaker OST, I have to pay for an infinitely charged streaming service…. Sigh… the digital future sucks.
It's not the end,I hope people will keep posting Nintendo OSTs here so 1 we can put them in our playlist with other songs 2 we don't need to pay for switch online 3 we can have every games without waiting for Nintendo to put them on here 4 we can have every songs of a game (example : mk8 missing frontrunning songs and Splatoon 3 missing post release and dlc songs)
They have 149 tracks from MK8. That includes Booster Course Pass songs. If you go to search and click the game, then click the "all tracks" button, you can see every song.
This is actually crazy. On one hand it would probably be better if they just put everything on Spotify but on the other hand this is a really cool option to have with all the customizations
Think about it like this: The cost to make and maintain this app is probably so much less than a deal with Spotify that they'll probably *make* money off of this, just by letting the music advertise the games
I like the Spotify idea on paper. And I don't know if it's true, but apparently at least the Xenoblade 3 soundtrack is on there. I'll personally continue using UA-cam, but if we're comparing apps, Spotify is actually more expensive for the user and less profitable in this case. The Free Spotify experience on mobile is something I wouldn't want to go through again.
@@snowyneko6710 I said Spotify because they're the biggest player but I didn't mean an exclusivity deal or anything. Just meant that they could've also put their music on streaming services instead of keeping it locked behind this app
I mean, they could've forgot to make a section that gives the music composers due to it being rushed a little, but overall, definetely worth the NSO subscription! I'm pretty sure they'll add it in soon.
@@ImDaMat that's not something you accidentally overlook. It's definitely intentional. That is not a small oopsy. Music streaming apps have been around for long enough that you EXPECT to see the artists credited right next to the title of a song. It's the least you can do. Then, you get an other credit section of things like publishers, other musicians featured, mixing and mastering, where it was recorded, etc. That's basic etiquette.
@@micheller3251 It's probably wishful thinking but I certainly do hope Nintendo will be pressured into putting in credits eventually, preferably soon. It's just bad practice to neglect such a thing
I am beyond hyped for this. I’ve been making UA-cam playlists of Nintendo music for YEARS, and replacing the copyrighted music every year lol. Finally a legal (from Nintendo’s pov lol) and stable way to listen to Nintendo music. Now they only need to add all the other games’ soundtracks. The smash soundtrack would be a good start, because it has a bit of everything.
I could see Smash taking a while, and maybe even being incomplete if/when it is added, because of how many different companies they have to get licenses from. For every SNK, there's a Square Enix
yup. will still listen to all the hundreds of Nintendo OSTs I want for free like always, this app just cannot compare with stuff that you could do over a decade ago
@@nyo24 Definitely not all nintendo fans. A lot of people only play offline games or stick to backlog on older consoles. But I get that I am in the minority that absolutely despises subscription services, so I am just going to have to stick with random youtube uploads. (I wish nintendo also, just, uploaded their music to the youtube library and other streaming services)
Yeah, no, I have never once asked nor wanted Nintendo to hold all their music on an isolated subscription I wouldn't use otherwise while attacking channel after channel. I am not a shareholder so, i was definitely fine listening to them on UA-cam. And I'll definitely be fine not subbing.
No no no, I STILL hate this. THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO AXE NINTENDOMELODY, AND WIPE OUT 90% OF MY XENOBLADE PLAYLIST, AND THEY HAVE THE GALL TO NOT INCLUDE A SINGLE XENO SONG ON THEIR APP? *THE NERVE*. I DON'T EVEN CARE IF THEY ADD IT LATER, I NEED YOU WILL KNOW OUR NAMES FINALE *N O W*.
For one thing, it's about freaking time. For another thing, I gotta give them props for thinking of the one thing that actually makes this useful to me and not a novelty: YOU CAN EXTEND THE SONGS! No more having to stream 30 minute extensions on UA-cam for Nintendo music. It's seriously the end of an era, for better or worse.
only thing about this that i find digusting is the creditting and maybe the dripfeeding of music. and that they apparantly deem themselves to o good to just put their music on youtube or spotify. like why do i need ANOTHER app to listen to music
Fans: Nintendo announce your new hardware and software lineup! Nintendo: Announces alarm clock and music mobile app Though great to see NSO is just getter better.
It would have been so much easier and make so much more sense for them to just add their music to spotify and apple music. It just feels like they're re-inventing the wheel.
My mind was blown like everyone else at this announcement, but my excitement got cut short when I signed in and saw just how limited the current library is. I hate them drip feeding NSO "Virtual Console" games, but in their defense, limiting the availability of those makes it that much more hype when big games are announced since it's APPARENTLY not straightforward trying to play those games by other means. But limiting music when I'm several seconds away from looking up the Wind Waker OST here on UA-cam when I WANT to use this new app!?!?!? Completely idiotic
as someone who has done a significant amount of manually looping music, the currently limited selection might actually not just be completely arbitrary-- depending on how they're setting up the loops, getting songs ready for the extension feature could be *_very_* tedious work. if they're looping preexisting mp3s, that involves a lot of very precise trial and error to find perfect loop points, and if they're reconstructing streamable audio from the looping audio files that are actually in the games, even that would probably require a _lot_ of data entry at _least._
@@ThePoltergust5000 I can totally see that, but the amount of songs they started with is so few, they could've added way more with probably only a bit longer of a wait time
this is a genius marketing move, but this will rain hell upon anyone who dares use nintendo music in videos now. and anyone who dares archive nintendo music. and will screw over anyone who doesn't have the money for NSO. or anyone who wants to listen to soundtracks not included in the app, which is most of them. or anyone who wants to listen to nintendo music alongside other not-nintendo music. the lack of credits for the real life humans that made the goddamn music is telling. seeing people so excited for this is disappointing.
Yeah, to meet it still feels that we consumers are on the losing side, and that Nintendo is only reforcing their way of giving the middle finger to the fans. actually they are just joining on the practices of a old and awful industry, the music one. :/
Nintendo not allowing their music to be used in copyright detectors has been a godsend for youtubers, including Arlo. I really hope this doesn’t prelude to a mass erasure of videos that used Nintendo music because they were as good as royalty free…
Who doesnt have $20.00/year for NSO? Get real. The app is awesome and they didnt have to do this. Excuse the f out of Nintendo for protecting their copyrighted material.
The credits are an issue but no different from any other music service, I have apple music and see nothing outside the composer for most OST. Otherwise, it literally does not change a single thing, Nintendo has always enforced their music rights in a number of ways. You think the Nintendo that sues everyone leaves music alone? Giving a legal way to listen to old songs is just Nintendo finally offering what fans have wanted for years.
khinsider is honestly the better option anyway imo, it has music from anything and not even exclusive to nintendo, and soundtracks from like every game
This seems like a great thing on the surface level. But in the end this is a temporary access on your device for select games only. Unless Nintendo suddenly becomes gracious and kind we are going to lose more then gain. Nintendo will now be able to claim "We are providing access so ALL our music elsewhere is illegal." This is going to give them the power to purge because they might add it later with people defending it because they have access to their game songs. This turns us against each other, giving Nintendo more control with less access to music.
i love that a lot of the song thumbnails are in game screenshots that contextualize them just to remind you where they played. the pikmin 4 final results song even shows that the person killed 421 pikmin in their run looool (also names the default protagonist "naomi")
I was surprised to see music from the Wii channels like News, Forecast, and Everybody Votes on there. Already made a short relaxing Wii channels playlist. What random thing will Nintendo do next 😂
It took Nintendo 2 years to give us an alternative to GilvaSunner after relentlessly striking his videos to the point where he had to delete the channel.
2:54 this THIS, this feels just about right, cus like on one hand, I am upset it doesn’t just let us have all the important stuff from the start, absolutely, yes, BUT when ya face facts, that is very simply just a way of looking at it, a possible attitude to take about it. And the other is that the anticipation is fun in itself, so even tho I wished it weren’t the case, if you just look at it from a different angle, that makes it sort of alright.
I love it.. I suspect the reason they’re releasing it now is because of that investor meeting. Profits probably aren’t as anticipated and I’m guessing the next console isn’t ready to be shown, so they’re releasing little things to increase revenue for the rest of the year (alarm sales and this to drive new nso subscriptions)
I actually imagined in my head that one day, Nintendo would have their own music app in which you could customize the duration of the songs and they actually did! I also predicted in my head that one of the Nintendo rides at Universal Studios would be a Donkey Kong mine cart ride with a fake track system and they did exactly that too! I think I should leave my predictions on comment sections in case they end up being true! 😄
Bro it’s INSANE to me how well the app works, it’s not trying to be cute or anything it’s just a straight up music app with HD soundtracks, the app itself is great, hopefully they dont dripfeed us the song selection tho 😭
This still feels more like a spiteful action than an actual service. Assuming this works like other music streaming services, Nintendo isn’t making that much money from this at all since the subscription fee is still NSO, which the vast majority of users are already paying for. Not only are they gatekeeping the music still, they aren’t even making as much money as they could by just putting the music on UA-cam or Spotify. Also making it so that we have to choose between listening to Nintendo music and listening to other music SUUUUUCKS, again most people are just gonna stick to UA-cam
I was having a really bad day, I had a good cry in the shower, and first thing I see when I get out is this. Needless to say my day was immediately brightened.
Great... what will always be a way more limited selection we won't be able to mix with anything else, and they now have every reason to target UA-cam uploads even harder. Just fantastic.
I think it's cool that there is now an offical music app for these different series & games, but this does make me think they will be cracking down awhole lot more on OST's on this platform.
Would significantly prefer they have just uploaded their soundtracks to actual music platforms instead. A separate, mobile exclusive, app means I'm both not going to use this over Spotify when on the go and I can't use this when on my PC. Also means I can't mix these with the rest of my music. Extra effort for less value.
So far my favorite thing about the app is that nearly every song is given a unique cover, mostly just being screenshots of the moment the music is from, but it’s so cute. My second favorite thing is that some songs that never had official english names now do, like the entire Kirby Star Allies soundtrack.
I think Nintendo is going to crack down SO MUCH HARDER on the use of their Music online which is my only concern
Knowing Nintendo, they might start cracking down on music that isn't even available in the app. This could result in a massive loss of SO MANY game soundtracks from the internet, especially ones that might not be "marketable" enough to put on the app. We'll have to wait and see what happens, I guess.
As long as online people aren’t profiting from it, I think we’ll be ok.
Most likely, but I feel like they would've done that months in advance if that's the case.
Everytime they take down something on a random day, it's because they're working on something similar, which we don't see until months later.
I think things will just stay the same as they are right now with takedowns at the same pacing as always. Plus this app is tied to NSO with only a small handful of Switch game music. Even they must know that people aren't paying $20 yearly just for a handpicked amount of game music.

Or Manaka Kataoka, who should be as famous as any of the modern composers we're familiar with.
Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. The composers really do deserve credit for their amazing work, and I really hope that they add this feature in some future update.
That's not "a bit sad" that's completely unacceptable
Huh? It’s out. I can’t find it

Exactly. If we only get a few songs a month, then it'll be ages before we get all of the tracks we actually want. I can already think of so many good soundtracks that aren't on there yet.
The sound library is huge, so I would hope they're more frequent than NSO classic games, or at least in bigger chunks.
I'd also like it if: soundtracks get released on the same day a game comes out, or even a little bit later (like 1 week).

The first track I got when i picked a random playlist was Wii Weather Channel music so I'm sold.

Yup! All Wii Channel soundtracks are there! The Mii Channel, the Wii Shop, etc. @@vanjavicko20
@@vanjavicko20yes all Wii channel music Is on the app
@@vanjavicko20the entire wii ost is on there!
I downloaded the app:
One of the biggest issues that I'm currently running in with Nintendo Music is that it doesn't have Nintendo's full soundtrack library, which shouldn't be a problem since they're gonna add more music as the days go by, and that's fine. Unfortunately, not all soundtracks like Breath of the Wild have every single song on there, and if its like that for one soundtrack, it'll probably be like that for others.
Another problem that I am running into is, "Why?" "Why make their own service?" They should have released it on already pre-existing music streaming devices, so that everyone, not just people have an NSO account, can enjoy it." (And I get it, its probably for... money obviously, but, if you're gonna take the time to release the music on here, you may as well talk to other music streaming services to reach a wider audience).
And the third thing, which is a question I think that is running in my mind is, is Nintendo gonna take down all of these songs that are already on UA-cam that you can listen to for free? Fair question I think.
Edited: It does have all the tracks of BOTW.
Is it free? Or how much?
Actually the whole soundtrack is there, inside the game there's an option "all tracks" and there's like 200+ tracks in Botw alone 😂

I love subscription services.
It's a part of NSO...
@@Jackie_burnp a subscription service...
If you can't afford $20 a year then video games might not be your ideal hobby
@@smolbrendan5978 The OP implied this is another thing to subscribe to
When it is not
Depending on your disposition and how much you care, online multiplayer access, Virtual Console and a music app with the soundtrack to dozens of games as one subscription can be a fair deal.
I don't care much for music streaming (or this app even), but tacking it on an online subscription at no additional cost is not bad.
My only hope is that it is updated more frequently than the NSO apps, otherwise it will take me some time to adapt.
I’m not expecting the Super Paper Mario soundtrack to come anytime soon, but within the year would be nice.
Having the super paper Mario ost on this would be amazing! I’m hoping that at least the origami king or thousand year door ost is on there at least.
YES. Absolutely this, that's the main thing that has me skeptical about this even though I LOVE that they're finally making this after all these years. If they add more than like one soundtrack a month than maybe it could be worth it but given it's nintendo, idk how often they'll add to it
I hope we at least get every new game soundtrack as it releases. Kinda like NSO icons. Maybe we could also get two drops of a few game soundtracks a month.
I hope they're more frequent too considering how enormous the music library is. Maybe I'm asking for too much, but if they wanna get crazy with it, have a sound library too with some sound effects. Why? I don't know, but it'd be neat.
YES. To be honest, every Paper Mario game has astounding music, no matter how good the actual game is. I'm surprised we didn't even get The Origami King at launch.
I predict Nintendo will now start DMCA striking old videos that use Nintendo background music.
I hope not. I'm playing through Wonder right now.
Look Nintendo is comically anti-consumer but not that comically anti-consumer. Also I that was something they used to do and stopped because it kept pissing people off
We should also be worried about Restoration OST UA-camrs like Jammin' Sam Miller, Cloou, and Aqua MIDI. They could NOW be in danger by Nintendo's wrath.
There is a reason, Nintendo didn't put their music in UA-cams Content ID system.
So what I'm getting from this comments section is:
- No composer credits
- Pathetically small selection
- Locked behind NSO which probably means incredibly slow updates
Yup. It is ABSOLUTELY a smokescreen to justify more brash music takedowns. This isn't an app, it's an alibi.
Yeah, I could kinda see this coming considering how much they've been cracking down on music channels this year. I just hope they don't start taking down videos that use their music in general (They probably will), if they do, a significant portion of UA-cam in general will be lost. I saw a streamer earlier today utterly panic when the app was announced due to the implications it has for his VOD channel.
You think they need an alibi to remove songs from UA-cam? You must be kidding.
I'm just worried the "add to the service over time" will be like how they release like 3 games on NSO a month, and like a year from now we'll only have like 60 soundtracks from the most popular games.
considering the large lineup of "upcoming" OSTs shown in the trailer I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume they'll upload these way faster than NSO games.
In fairness getting a classic game running well on their Switch emulation is probably a bit harder than uploading the .wav files of an OST and calling it a day.
@@Jasperr9999They do also add in screenshots of the games for a lot of the tracks, but still not much.
I'm so mad about this because it DOESN'T CREDIT THE COMPOSERS?? WHAT THE HECK NINTENDO
"WHAT THE HECK NINTENDO"
A sentence we've been saying a lot lately
Sees the Notification: NINTENDO MUSIC? HUH? FINALLY?!?!?!!
Opens the app and there are only like 20 soundtracks: Oh...
The selection of games is pretty thin at the moment, but I'm seeing a few games listed with 100+ tracks.
The biggest one at the moment appears to be Animal Crossing: The KK Slider collection for Animal Crossing looks complete, and it has both performance and instrumental variants for the tracks. Add on top of that the hourly tracks and the normal game tracks - there's a list of all of them with a count - 407 tracks in Animal Crossing.
The KK Slider lists are worth checking out, there's a big variety of music styles - I think most people will find a few tracks they'll like.

Now I am in a position where Nintendo strikes music videos in my country but also makes this app no available.

I LOVE the detail that each individual track has its own unique image associated with the track. Like, they could've just put the box art for each song and called it a day, but they went ahead and added that extra touch. It adds so much personality and individuality.
It’s almost like good ideas are… good ideas.
yup, and downloading entire OSTs and having them in the same music app you already used for your other songs is still a better idea than what Nintendo could ever cook.
Bad app. It is literally worse than what you could already do well over a decade ago.

Spitting truths here, @@Danominator
I'm liking the app itself so far, can't wait for them to add more tracks. Only real gripe that I have is that I noticed that none of the composers are credited for the music they made. I'd appreciate if you'd appreciate the composers that work under you, Nintendo.
This actually scares me. Are they gonna go after UA-cam covers/remixes/lofi beats/uploads of songs more now they have their own music app?
They've done copyright takedowns of game rips before they even had this excuse, though I've never heard of them attacking remixes or covers before, I'd imagine those are still safe.
well.. this is the reason why they are doing it in the 1st place
I REALLY hope not. Anyone would.
@@Jasperr9999 Nintendo mentality is "fun made by us on our terms" they want to keep your experience with there games/consoles completely unique. (This often extends into crushing fangames). But remixes aren't there experience "stolen" so they don't take it down
I'm pretty sure remixes are fine since they're protected under parody(I think), ost's however, that remains to be seen.
As many apps as Nintendo is making, im starting to think they're switching their biz model over to data scraping. And now that they're finally officially hosting the tracks for streaming, i suspect they'll really start cracking down on every unauthorized use of it, including as bg music in UA-cam vids
With only like 20 Games and some of them like Splatoon 3 not even including some of the games main fan favoritr tracks while a neat idea, it needs WAY more to be viable
Well, give it some time.
I mean, look at UA-cam, for example.
It had nearly twenty years to exist to collect music.
This app only just started to exist like for an hour or two.
So, I think we should be fair and give this app some time to cook.
Have you checked that you are not just in the Top Tracks album? It seems to default to playing that. The ost contains 118 tracks. Are there still some missing? Can see some yt playlists have 128, and they might not include fanfares like the app?
@@HyenHks Big Betrayal and Suffer No Fools are both completely absent despite both (especially Big Betrayal) being fan favorite tracks. They are not on the service at all for no clear reason other than Nintendo saying not all tracks from a game will be on the service necessarily lol

@@jamieohjamie they may also be delaying the reveal becuase of some unexpected hardware block. one of the few things we know is that they are makeing shure they don't have a hardware shortage.

@@kittenfan7664 Yeah. A lot of their recent reveals have felt like filler. Game releases have slowed down a LOT. I think they are definitely padding for time.

This is especially cool for me because I’ll play music while I’m at work (and sometimes over Bluetooth speakers), and I like to play game music. But if I play music off of UA-cam, ads always get in the way. So now I have a solution!
Plus, I’m hoping that Nintendo will use some data from this to see which soundtracks people will enjoy and will use it to cater to audiences in the future! F-Zero music, baby!
your solution was just to download those songs.
F-Zero isn’t even in the initial batch of songs so far lol.
No matter what crappy product Nintendo pushes, you'll always find at least one fan who'll defend it for seeing a future for F-Zero in it.

Same, I look forward to them adding any of the Xenoblade OSTs to the app. Especially X, Hiroyuki Sawano absolutely killed it with that soundtrack
I’m actually kind of curious if Xenoblade tracks are going to come to the service. Those soundtracks are actually already on services like iTunes. The composers might want more than a “Nintendo” credit if their music comes to the service.

@@flob.1276 there's one up rn by max g. If you wanna take a gander its still at the top of my music playlist so im guessing its up.
There was one that had like a million views though I remember commenting about the game with people, sucks nintendo had to go and ruin a fun thing but at least now they're dipping their toes into doing this. Took em an absurdly long time to do it but better late than never i suppose.
The biggest issue with this app is that it only has 23 game soundtracks on it and most are switch titles. There’s like absolutely no reason to use this thing until it’s got like EVERY game in crisp quality
More are on the way, so hopefully they add the rest quickly.

As if I would wait for some glorified noise maker to make more noises when I have UA-cam to make those noises for me.
@@PSDRProductionsIf you keep waiting for "the rest" you will end up very very disappointed. This is Nintendo, they only give you what they want to. And in this case they're not even giving, they're renting.
I truly believe Nintendo sees people engaging in fun and goes, "Not unless we say so." They'll stop something they never had an interest in, then replace it with their own thing just to justify it.
This is still a net loss for consumers, though. They made it a digital streaming service instead of allowing us to purchase it. Now, for forever, they get to charge us every single time we want to listen to their music. We will never ever get to personally purchase and own it. If I want to listen to The Windwaker OST, I have to pay for an infinitely charged streaming service…. Sigh… the digital future sucks.
It's not the end,I hope people will keep posting Nintendo OSTs here so 1 we can put them in our playlist with other songs
2 we don't need to pay for switch online
3 we can have every games without waiting for Nintendo to put them on here
4 we can have every songs of a game (example : mk8 missing frontrunning songs and Splatoon 3 missing post release and dlc songs)
They have 149 tracks from MK8. That includes Booster Course Pass songs. If you go to search and click the game, then click the "all tracks" button, you can see every song.
RIP for those who don't have Nintendo Switch online... ouch.....
This is actually crazy. On one hand it would probably be better if they just put everything on Spotify but on the other hand this is a really cool option to have with all the customizations
Think about it like this: The cost to make and maintain this app is probably so much less than a deal with Spotify that they'll probably *make* money off of this, just by letting the music advertise the games
@@Druid-Twell at least let us download them to put into Apple Music. I dont ever want to listen to JUST Nintendo music.
I like the Spotify idea on paper. And I don't know if it's true, but apparently at least the Xenoblade 3 soundtrack is on there.
I'll personally continue using UA-cam, but if we're comparing apps, Spotify is actually more expensive for the user and less profitable in this case.

@@ImDaMat that's not something you accidentally overlook. It's definitely intentional. That is not a small oopsy. Music streaming apps have been around for long enough that you EXPECT to see the artists credited right next to the title of a song. It's the least you can do. Then, you get an other credit section of things like publishers, other musicians featured, mixing and mastering, where it was recorded, etc. That's basic etiquette.
@@micheller3251 It's probably wishful thinking but I certainly do hope Nintendo will be pressured into putting in credits eventually, preferably soon. It's just bad practice to neglect such a thing

I could see Smash taking a while, and maybe even being incomplete if/when it is added, because of how many different companies they have to get licenses from. For every SNK, there's a Square Enix

For one thing, it's about freaking time.
For another thing, I gotta give them props for thinking of the one thing that actually makes this useful to me and not a novelty: YOU CAN EXTEND THE SONGS! No more having to stream 30 minute extensions on UA-cam for Nintendo music. It's seriously the end of an era, for better or worse.
would not consider this the end of an era honestly, this seems like nintendo abandonware at best

R.I.P Jammin' Sam Miller, Cloou, and Aqua MIDI :(
A lot of people are saying their peice about the app but I would like to add that this website is really well designed.
The announcement is barely an hour old. You're on top
It would have been so much easier and make so much more sense for them to just add their music to spotify and apple music. It just feels like they're re-inventing the wheel.
My mind was blown like everyone else at this announcement, but my excitement got cut short when I signed in and saw just how limited the current library is. I hate them drip feeding NSO "Virtual Console" games, but in their defense, limiting the availability of those makes it that much more hype when big games are announced since it's APPARENTLY not straightforward trying to play those games by other means. But limiting music when I'm several seconds away from looking up the Wind Waker OST here on UA-cam when I WANT to use this new app!?!?!? Completely idiotic
as someone who has done a significant amount of manually looping music, the currently limited selection might actually not just be completely arbitrary-- depending on how they're setting up the loops, getting songs ready for the extension feature could be *_very_* tedious work. if they're looping preexisting mp3s, that involves a lot of very precise trial and error to find perfect loop points, and if they're reconstructing streamable audio from the looping audio files that are actually in the games, even that would probably require a _lot_ of data entry at _least._
@@ThePoltergust5000 I can totally see that, but the amount of songs they started with is so few, they could've added way more with probably only a bit longer of a wait time

And now we watch all the Nintendo song uploads on UA-cam burn to the ground... God save us all from Nintendo's ninjas.

Get ready to never listen to Nintendo music on UA-cam ever again
that’s pretty cool, kinda bummed that it’s going to be drip fed. really love that they have extended options though, that’s amazing
this is a genius marketing move, but this will rain hell upon anyone who dares use nintendo music in videos now. and anyone who dares archive nintendo music. and will screw over anyone who doesn't have the money for NSO. or anyone who wants to listen to soundtracks not included in the app, which is most of them. or anyone who wants to listen to nintendo music alongside other not-nintendo music. the lack of credits for the real life humans that made the goddamn music is telling. seeing people so excited for this is disappointing.
Yeah, to meet it still feels that we consumers are on the losing side, and that Nintendo is only reforcing their way of giving the middle finger to the fans. actually they are just joining on the practices of a old and awful industry, the music one. :/
nintendo has absolutely no way whatsoever to prevent people from uploading their music through non official channels
Nintendo not allowing their music to be used in copyright detectors has been a godsend for youtubers, including Arlo. I really hope this doesn’t prelude to a mass erasure of videos that used Nintendo music because they were as good as royalty free…
Who doesnt have $20.00/year for NSO? Get real. The app is awesome and they didnt have to do this. Excuse the f out of Nintendo for protecting their copyrighted material.
The credits are an issue but no different from any other music service, I have apple music and see nothing outside the composer for most OST. Otherwise, it literally does not change a single thing, Nintendo has always enforced their music rights in a number of ways. You think the Nintendo that sues everyone leaves music alone? Giving a legal way to listen to old songs is just Nintendo finally offering what fans have wanted for years.
As someone who doesnt have a switch, im disappointed its not available to everyone. Ill just stick to my other methods of listening to the music
So that’s why they cracked them down.
Microsoft and Sony are imploding, while Nintendo is just… being Nintendo

This seems like a great thing on the surface level.
But in the end this is a temporary access on your device for select games only. Unless Nintendo suddenly becomes gracious and kind we are going to lose more then gain.
Nintendo will now be able to claim "We are providing access so ALL our music elsewhere is illegal." This is going to give them the power to purge because they might add it later with people defending it because they have access to their game songs.
This turns us against each other, giving Nintendo more control with less access to music.
We are getting literally EVERYTHING before Switch 2
Getting everything before switch 2 before gta6
That explains the colossal music purge on UA-cam.
i love that a lot of the song thumbnails are in game screenshots that contextualize them just to remind you where they played. the pikmin 4 final results song even shows that the person killed 421 pikmin in their run looool (also names the default protagonist "naomi")
I hope they add all the soundtracks for the Paper Mario games. If I can’t listen to Color Splash’s soundtrack, I won’t be happy.

And the other is that the anticipation is fun in itself, so even tho I wished it weren’t the case, if you just look at it from a different angle, that makes it sort of alright.
I love it..
I suspect the reason they’re releasing it now is because of that investor meeting. Profits probably aren’t as anticipated and I’m guessing the next console isn’t ready to be shown, so they’re releasing little things to increase revenue for the rest of the year (alarm sales and this to drive new nso subscriptions)
game music is accessible all across the internet idk what the big deal is. I don't even mean on youtube, you can find full mp3 soundtracks
I actually imagined in my head that one day, Nintendo would have their own music app in which you could customize the duration of the songs and they actually did!
I also predicted in my head that one of the Nintendo rides at Universal Studios would be a Donkey Kong mine cart ride with a fake track system and they did exactly that too! I think I should leave my predictions on comment sections in case they end up being true! 😄
Bro it’s INSANE to me how well the app works, it’s not trying to be cute or anything it’s just a straight up music app with HD soundtracks, the app itself is great, hopefully they dont dripfeed us the song selection tho 😭
A music app that plays music? Wow, great work Nintendo! Truly they go above and beyond
This still feels more like a spiteful action than an actual service. Assuming this works like other music streaming services, Nintendo isn’t making that much money from this at all since the subscription fee is still NSO, which the vast majority of users are already paying for. Not only are they gatekeeping the music still, they aren’t even making as much money as they could by just putting the music on UA-cam or Spotify.
Also making it so that we have to choose between listening to Nintendo music and listening to other music SUUUUUCKS, again most people are just gonna stick to UA-cam
won't download this until nintendo actually credits the artists who made the music.
I was having a really bad day, I had a good cry in the shower, and first thing I see when I get out is this. Needless to say my day was immediately brightened.
I havent gotten to the final boss in the original super mario brothers yet so im glad i can hide spoilers to prevent finding out who it is.
1:31 Wii channel spoilers
Great... what will always be a way more limited selection we won't be able to mix with anything else, and they now have every reason to target UA-cam uploads even harder. Just fantastic.
This is such a fantastic announcement... It's almost unbelievable.. but here it is, on my phone right now.
I think it's cool that there is now an offical music app for these different series & games, but this does make me think they will be cracking down awhole lot more on OST's on this platform.
Would significantly prefer they have just uploaded their soundtracks to actual music platforms instead. A separate, mobile exclusive, app means I'm both not going to use this over Spotify when on the go and I can't use this when on my PC. Also means I can't mix these with the rest of my music.
Extra effort for less value.
Also, is it me or does the botw theme have a blatant splice in it? It's the only track that has an obvious cut at a specific moment.
If they don't have the entire soundtrack to a game available right out the gate, I swear to God--
The game OSTs are all complete at least. Only the selection of games leaves much to be desired.
So far my favorite thing about the app is that nearly every song is given a unique cover, mostly just being screenshots of the moment the music is from, but it’s so cute.
My second favorite thing is that some songs that never had official english names now do, like the entire Kirby Star Allies soundtrack.
They've announced so much stuff this week. A direct must have been postponed.
It's a free app!
But only for NSO members.
But I was paying for that anyway.
So it's free?
Nintendo is so, so cowardly and scared. Seriously. Just release the music on Spotify and UA-cam Music. This is RIDICULOUS
Between this and Alarmo, you're definitely right about Nintendo wanting to move into the general lifestyle space.
