On the composer credits thing, I beat TTYD remake recently and not only did it list composers and musicians but it listed the specific instruments each performer played. If a game's credits are going to go into that much detail to credit the artists, it can't be some corporate policy stopping them doing it for this. Also as as a fun thing they could do in future, itd be cool if they included videos of performances for some songs like how they've released on youtube for Mariokart and Splatoon.

[@cosmicskydragon333]

It could though, you don't know the details behind it.

[@SlurpyTheDog]

While KZbin is still in a lot ways the more appealing option, I think one particular boon that the app has is that a lot of songs are being released in their original audio quality and not the compressed versions we got on original systems. Songs from the Wii in particular hugely benefit from this as that era was basically a transitional point music wise where they were capable of doing so much more with game soundtracks, both with expanded versatility of synthetic music and the ability to easily use live recorded music, but the system still compressed the music heavily. Gamecube and 3DS music will likely also benefit from this as well.

[@Duskool]

The one OST i'm waiting for is EarthBound, not because i'll buy the app for an ost i really like, but just, i would like to see it in there out of spite for every single person that has said that EB/Mother songs couldn't be added to Smash Bros. for copyright conflict reasons (despite the fact that they're obviously already songs in Smash Bros. that conflict with the copyright people usually bring up)

My biggest gripe is that it's a Music App. I know that sounds weird at first, but think of it like this: when I buy music off of iTunes or Bandcamp I'm able to download said music and add it to my "Everything" styled playlist. I have PaRappa the Rapper, Owl City, idk freakin' Gummybar, all in the same playlist and I'd like to have an official way to add Nintendo's stuff to THAT as well.

Sure, Scarlet and Violet have their soundtrack, but I’m worried that a lot of older games will take ages to come to the service despite Pokémon being one of Nintendos biggest series. This’ll definitely be a problem outside of Pokémon, no doubt so it’s worrying to think about how many games could get lost in the shuffle

Yea I’m surprised about how little there is game wise especially some by consoles on there especially with their bigger franchises.

They really should just make youtube channel for it, i dont think the channel would make a ton of money but it would save them money, not having to develop and maintain an app like that. Honestly I dont think this app is gonna be around for more than a year or two but hey, maybe im wrong

[@FriskyD.]

It's me, I'm the one other person. "Actually just a playlist, you know, for music." Recently passed 420

[@FrecklesHasAQuestionMark]

you know those playsets that are like, little plastic baby versions of kitchens or storefronts or whatever so children can pretend to be adults? This app feels like that to me. Not because video game music isn't "real music" or whatever, I don't believe that, but the app presenting itself like any other music streaming service while having like 6 songs max per playlist and an overall lack of songs overall feels like. I dunno. like "awww it's pretending to be Spotify"

[@ughugh3767]

Itunes and Spotify should sue Nintendo for using the mechanics of playing music with a square shaped interfaces… (…I’m referring to when Nintendo sued Palworld to copyright the game mechanics of Pokemon btw)

[@radiantstarlight0428]

it’ll be worth it when they add origami king’s ost that shit is peak nintendo music

[@realbiggestlegofanconnor7007]

No it’s LITERALLY useless considering you need a Nintendo online account like at that point why not just make it a free updated feature on the switch for Nintendo online users it’s just stupid and useless (huge companies make a good and not incompetent decision: impossible)

[@Slap257]

I was immediately smacked by the cozy vibes, take this subscribe

[@TJ_thesilly]

I feel that way too :') she's so lovely and soft spoken and I love the autumnal theme of her channel. Its all so calming :')

[@SpiritedSpy]

Genuinely who else other than the most die hard Nintendo fans who have been subbed to NSO since day 1 are gonna go out and subscribe just to use this?? I already paid for the game, you got me interested, I liked the music, I'm not gonna pay AGAIN just to listen to the music more easily. The app exists for existing Nintendo fans, the way they built it isn't to attract new fans. The lack of credit is insulting and lazy, the drip feed is mind numbing, but locking it behind a subscription killed it immediately. They shut down the easiest form of enjoyment then shove a half assed solution in your face and wonder why people still pirate...

[@OneAndOnlyDanky]

For me that app barely works, like it works, but playing songs for too long (which is like 5-8 songs from my rough estimate) just makes them stop playing and you have to restart the app to get them to work again. It’s really annoying and when KZbin music exists and you can upload whatever music you want (it’s private they’re not gonna get taken down) it’s hard to find a reason to use it

[@OneAndOnlyDanky]

Also Splatoon 3 is missing pretty much any of the music added post-launch which was my biggest disappointment aside from the thing not functioning

[@Morilix]

To be honest people don't need an app just dedicated to Nintendo music. People should be able to use KZbin and be able to post Nintendo music if they credited the parties involved with making the music and don't profit off of said music. The fact that Nintendo is going to great lengths to protect their music like this is absurd and we shouldn't really be ok with that.

[@QueenMothz]

I just hate that it's only for Nintendo Membership owners, subscriptions suck

[@SprinchelArt]

I think another cool idea to make the service better than KZbin would be adaptive music interactivity You know those moments in games where different versions of the music play depending on you actions in game? Like a different remix plays when you go underwater or additional instruments appear and disappear when different enemies are on the field. It would be cool if whenever those kind of soundtracks popped up in the app, there would be a little gui menu, where you could configure the song while it keeps playing: select different versions, turn different instruments on and off and of course an option to remember your preferences for that song next time it plays

[@boredgabe4874]

I was honestly kind of bummed that this of all things was made into a drip feed process, even if the output is considerably faster than NSO games on Switch. This feels like a considerably less complicated job in some regards, and it just makes KZbin feel like a more viable option in the end lol The app itself isn’t bad, but it honestly just makes KZbin feel like a more convenient option now, especially with having any OST at your disposal without having to wait a few weeks to have a chance to listen to a soundtrack :(

[@TJ_thesilly]

Yeah :( and none of this wouldn't be happening if Nintendo weren't so crappy :(

[@dimensiondetective]

Love your ideas and the video(thanks for saying the playlist limit, was unaware of that ) and want to add a few myself alongside a little known fact: In the some regions including UK, the Track Information within the app is named “Intellectual Property Notices” and I think Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are the only ost to be more than just “Copyright Nintendo”. As well as comparing to other services to see ways the app can be better, I feel it’s also worth comparing to owning the ost physically. By viewing through that perspective a few ideas pop up: 1. (To over emphasise the point as much as everyone as) Can understand if there are select cases where when asked a composer may request to remain uncredited. But for composer that are credited for a physical ost then they should logically be fine with being credited in the app too! So especially for switch games, there should be no problem 2. Add more options of editing the tracks such as listening to them in reverse or changing speed. Especially as that happens WITHIN the game (e.g. Phases of boss fights and Mario Kart Final laps) 3. There are extra songs in osts that could still be added to the app. One example is Splatune has “demo” version of 2 Clickbait songs and the Nintendo Live Concert version of Deep Cut’s music. Doubt we may ever get them, but one way they could add them is making these extras exclusive for NSO expansion members. Would LOVE if any renditions from many past and future official concerts could be included too. (As some of those are tricky to find in high quality) 4. (More specific and personal wish) Lyrics for any songs with vocals. An ideal addition for singalongs!🎤 Similarly to the credits, this is another way to remove the step of researching about these songs on a wiki by allow us to see this info. That all being, still hopeful that a few of the ideas proposed in this do happen and shall look forward to seeing the future of the app and your channel:)

[@clarinetduck7763]

So much Splatoon 3 music just isn't there as of right now. Other than songs from Big Run and a couple of Squid Sister Songs, there are no tracks from after the launch of the game. Yoko & The Gold Bazookas H2Whoa Riot Act SashiMori Seasonal Splatfest Music Off the Hook Hell, even the Side Order DLC 0 Tracks

[@TheTeddyBearMaster2]

This literally is already blowing up and its been like 57 seconds what-

[@Jakkozaki]

This is the first video of yours I've seen but your videos have a really relaxing vibe, you have a soothing voice I could fall asleep to (in a good way!)

[@ready2starttheshow766]

i wish it was the pibby music app!

[@dorae9437]

What

[@saladplainzone]

glad i'm not the only one bugged by the absence of the nintendo channel music lol

[@ewwitscullen9132]

It’s wild to me the intervals for looping goes straight to 15 minutes, there should be 5 and 10 minute intervals

[@BasementDweller_]

Love the thumbnail.

[@Bowser_Plush]

I’m personally fine with the one soundtrack per week style. While I use the app daily it does bring joy every time it gets updated and I always listen too the New soundtrack added even if I don’t particularly like the music or game in question. However this is also a smart move Nintendo’s part as this does technically mean the app will have “new” features for seemingly years if not upwards to half a decade.

[@crispypig2483]

One thing that I’d like them to add that’s a long shot is adding adaptive music layers. For the Mario Wonder songs it plays one loop normal and then one with the elephant drums. It would be cool to have the option to toggle that on and off especially for songs that would have yoshi drums or any of the pikmin soundtracks

[@vvlaze]

Can you imagine if they did a playlist for every instance of Totaka’s song, but never actually put Kazumi Totaka in the credits. Can you IMAGINE

[@coreDesignix]

I'm currently in the process of breaking down my 5000 video youtube playlist of all the songs I've been listening to since elementary school into more vibes based playlists. It is... a process.

[@K_Boar]

I also make a ginormous playlist with all the music I listen to. The one I have on Spotify is around 2700 tracks lol

[@lililovesdimitri7771]

Biz ur voice is really cute

[@Wekulu]

Oh boy, ANOTHER music subscription service. "nooo, we don't make money off people reuploading Nintendo music, so we will challenge all of them in copyright!!!" Or you know, they could've just made an official Nintendo music channel, which would've saved them money from paying people to make an app that looks like every other music streaming app I've ever seen.

[@Yuckycoffeegrinds]

I’m hoping in the future nintendo adds some third party games like pac man party and the sonic Ds games

[@theorangesteak]

I’m just waiting for more Splatoon 3 music to be added. More specifically the Grand Festival songs.

[@Shad809]

Regardless of how good it objectively is, there is no justification for locking this to a separate subscription and app. They could've just added these soundtracks to Spotify for the convenience of the consumer, but no, Nintendo has to be Nintendo and just make their own shitty copy ala KZbin. If it can't even be bothered to credit the people that make the damn music, I see no reason to consider it a worthwhile purchase. The fact that so many are kissing and licking the boots of a multi-billion dollar corporation for allowing them to consume the material they've made in a legal and legit fashion - the absolute barest possible minimum - is a sad example of people devoting themselves to faceless corporations that couldn't give less of a shit about them, just because they made something you like. I will not insult the people who purchase it simply because they just wanna listen to some music from their favorite games, but I ask that you reconsider purchasing this product when they have gone on record to absolutely loathe anybody who dares enjoy their product in a way that isn't exactly what they want - which should NEVER be a concern or responsibility of a consumer.

[@CamTheGalaxy]

Exactly this. And also like. It’s not even really that convenient or a suitable replacement for a good ol fashioned KZbin playlist. Cause for starters, the game selection is minimal, you need Nintendo online, and also like. What if you like game music that isn’t just Nintendo? What if I want to make a game music dancey style playlist and I want Emily’s Dance from Stardew on it? At that point I’m not going to use their app I’m just going to go to KZbin and make a collection of songs not locked to one specific company. It’s cute of them to make their own playlists and radios or whatever and the extension feature is cool, however this just…should’ve been a KZbin channel and if they really wanted the specific app it should have been released alongside the KZbin channel and had the things like the runtime expansion and specific character playlists and whatever and just been toted as a “And if you have Nintendo Online you can have the premium version of the experience!”

[@ThatOneDudeWhoPostsStuff]

Part of me wonders if the dripfeed is trying to make sure they have the licence to include said tracks on the service. You may scoff at this idea but Disney doesn't actually own the music that they produce in their own movies, often times when they do promotional material on social media they have to use stock footage because they don't have the rights to use their own music.

[@jonolivier9126]

It's likely to keep the hook in those that literally just got NSO for that service and get them to keep renewing in the hopes the tracks they like will eventually get added. Obviously that's far from the majority but they know full well that some poor saps are probably gonna churn nearly $1,000 into NSO just because they're waiting for Xenoblade, Paper Mario, Mother, or... idfk, Chibi Robo to get added to the app.

[@moon3117]

It doesn't have the Mario and Luigi brothership OST yet so no, it's bad.

[@coinckwac120]

At the rate of 1 game per week,it's probably not going to be on there for a few months if not years

[@moon3117]

@coinckwac120 and that's why it sucks. It would have been cooler if it was released on the same day or at least a week after.

[@Neonclown_7]

Y'know true, c'mon Nintendo, I wanna listen to Reclusa's theme anytime :(((

[@gameyfirebro9645]

I mean they slapped wonder's on pretty quickly.

[@moon3117]

@gameyfirebro9645 EXACTLY!

[@samviolet398]

or maybe scrap the app all together and just upload the soundtracks to spotify, like every other sane company
