Nintendo Switch Online just got a whole lot more valuable for subscribers, thanks to the introduction of Nintendo Music, a dedicated music app available exclusively to Switch Online members. Launched in 2018, the Switch Online service has been gradually expanding its perks to make the subscription more enticing, with a focus on adding classic games from iconic Nintendo consoles, including the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, and Sega Genesis.

While some of these games are limited to the "Expansion Pack" tier, the Nintendo Music feature is accessible to all Switch Online subscribers, at no extra cost. The app, available on iOS and Android devices, is Nintendo's answer to music streaming services like Spotify, featuring soundtracks and scores from beloved franchises like Super Mario, Metroid, Pikmin, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and The Legend of Zelda.

More songs and soundtracks from Nintendo's vast library are planned for future updates, although the company has yet to reveal specifics. For now, Switch Online subscribers can enjoy a wide range of iconic Nintendo tunes, adding significant value to their membership.

Initially, Nintendo Switch Online was met with skepticism from fans who felt the service wasn't worth the price. However, over the years, Nintendo has continuously improved and expanded the service, making the $20 annual membership fee feel like a bargain. With the addition of Nintendo Music, the value proposition is now stronger than ever.

The introduction of Nintendo Music has not only enhanced the Switch Online experience but also further justifies the subscription cost. As the service continues to evolve, it's clear that Nintendo is committed to providing its subscribers with a wealth of exclusive content and benefits.
