My Problems with Nintendo Music

One big issue I have that I haven't seen anyone mentioned is the fact that this app can only be used if you're paying for the NSO service. Which means that, if you don't have a Nintendo Switch, you're going to have to pay for an overly expensive subscription just to use the app. Would've been nice if they had included a separate subscription for just the app instead of making it exclusive to NSO.

[@Hewer86]

This app is not worth buying a subscription for it's just a nice bonus if you already have it

[@Nosidda]

I mean, if someone doesn't have a Switch and wants this app, NSO isn't expensive at all. You just need the base NSO, you don't need the expansion pack. So that means it would cost $20 per year to access this app, which comes out to $1.66 per month. I'd say that price is definitely worth it once they add more soundtracks.

[@BIGstonks]

ya comparative to like every other subscription ever $20 per year is fine. im about to buy it rn

[@Nosidda]

@@BIGstonks Do it! It's pretty sweet! Granted it still needs more music, the library is small right now, but they've already added three more albums since launch. EDIT: It's 4 now. I just found out mere minutes after posting this that F-Zero X was just added. WOOOO!

[@Sunburn9000]

My own nitpick is about how multiple versions of the same tracks are mixed into the same track on the list. For instance, in Mario Wonder, the normal and elephant segments are both on the same track and for BOTW, the day/night themes are combined. It annoys me that I can’t just play Zora’s domain night on the app when I want to sleep

[@JacobPDeIiNoNi]

To be fair this isn’t true 100% of the time. Mario kart tracks with multiple sections for example, like moonview highway, get a separate track for each one. But that inconsistency just makes the times they only give one track even more annoying

[@shehzadyousaf7918]

I noticed this on day 1 and it really bothers me. Really hope Nintendo will update these to split the tracks out. They have the ability to do it.

[@Hewer86]

I love the combined Mario Wonder songs

[@SlurpyTheDog]

Nintendo removing youtube uploads will forever be such an incredible loss. Beyond having to go so much further out of your way to find simple songs, its so hard to find a good, healthy comments section anymore. We used to have thriving communities in those comments sections, and now that all the big names have been shut down, everything is so scattered.

[@doodlememes]

comment sections are my favorite part of youtube soundtrack uploads, I wish they put miiverse or something in the app

[@GoldenSandslash15]

There absolutely ARE legal issues with getting Smash Bros. and Pokémon onto NSO. For Smash Bros., you mention how it doesn't have any third-party characters. And you are technically correct, but what Smash 64 does have is a third-party ITEM. Specifically, the Motion-Sensor Bomb. In all future Smash games, it features a Smash-original design, but in Smash 64, it comes from Perfect Dark. Though, granted, we did recently get Perfect Dark on NSO, so that issue should be at least partially alleviated now. For Pokémon, Nintendo only owns one-third of it, they are also owned by both Game Freak and Creatures. Even when they came to 3DS Virtual Console... which was SIGNIFICANTLY after they stopped adding stuff to 3DS Virtual Console otherwise... they had a lot done to them to make them stand out compared to other VC games: a higher price tag, multiplayer support, compatibility with Pokémon Home, and no suspend points. These are likely things that Game Freak and/or Creatures insisted on, which may be more difficult (or even impossible) to do on NSO.

[@PJiggles]

Obviously the pathetic lineup of games is a big problem but I also think they just waited far too long with something like this. It's cool that they're finally releasing their music but pretty much everyone that wants to listen to Nintendo music already has a way of doing that by now, like having made KZbin playlists or something. I personally download every song I want to listen to as an MP3, and I've been doing that for years now, so I have over 300 games covered already and this service only has like 25, and some of those I'd never willingly listen to like SMB1 Also Nintendo has so many niche series with huge fanbases that aren't on the app since they seem to mainly focus on their popular series. It wouldn't surprise me if it takes a couple years for a single Wario, Xenoblade, EarthBound, Rhythm Heaven, Kid Icarus etc game to be added Worst of all is that this app now gives them even more of a reason to go nuts with copyright takedowns on KZbin ;(

[@Odyssey_Central]

The fact that they're already using the app as an excuse to go nuclear on KZbin soundtrack uploads is my biggest problem with it. Already lost Video Game Music Resources, meaning no full upload exists for Smash Ultimate's new music, no good options exist for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet anymore, etc. Allegedly they've even managed to find unlisted videos in unlisted playlists, according to Maractus Radio.

Doesn't setting your video to private trigger the copyright flag anyways ?

4:29 - To those who are wondering the same thing, there is one company out there who claims to be under the permission of Nintendo. This company is trying their best to take down every single KZbin channel that uploaded Nintendo rips raw by giving BIG copyright strikes instead of blocks like Nintendo usually do. The current main targets of this are Smash Ultimate and also Pokémon gens 4-9's OSTs. This purgery has gotten so bad that some people have to private or delete their stuff, which Odyssey is technically right about that.

[@PhanTum926]

And side note, the "Battle! (Trainer Battle) (Pokemon X / Y)" remix actually originated in Smash 4, so you can still download it and use it. (surprising to see ZakkroMD being mentioned in a big KZbinr's video)

[@Videospiel-Man5730]

Well same thing happend to gmod i think its some trolls tbh!

[@freshlybakedfeline]

Beyond the lack of credits and poor spread of what songs can be extended (NONE of the pokemon songs...??), the fact that they're doing this instead of proper OST releases is just... frustrating. Especially when series like Splatoon and Pokemon have been getting CD releases of their games' soundtracks in Japan as recently as... this year! Its really just the same problem as the nintendo online games: we want to Own things. I want to own old games, I want to own old soundtracks. Having the OPTION to stream them via a subscription isn't bad! But there also not being an option to just outright buy the games' OSTs is deflating. I really, really hope in the future they consider making the offerings in the music app purchasable in some way. Also, fun fact: Kirby Planet Robobot's ost is on Spotify. Dunno why!

[@extremepayne]

In Nintendo Music, you can’t see the credits for any song. Also having the right to include a song in a video game and the right to distribute the song via streaming are different rights that are usually negotiated separately

[@GoshiWorld]

You say that every song is here, but Splatoon 3 is missing half of its songs. Splatoon has my favorite OSTs right next to Sonic, Pokémon, Undertale, and Deltarune.

[@karlispovisils5297]

One theory I’ve heard from a friend is that Nintendo could use the app to market new games. This can be done in 2 ways: 1. Releasing some selected songs similar to Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass. 2. Releasing OSTs from other entries in a series in celebration of a new entry or remaster of an old entry. For example, they could release a lot of Xenoblade OST to coincide with the rerelease of Xenoblade Chronicles X.

[@RHVGamer]

I got English Kirby Star Allies music names after 6 years so I'm happy

[@diegomedina9637]

[@thmousegaming]

Not evert song from each game has actually been added unfortunately. For example the app only has splatoon 3 songs up until the first wave of the expansion pass dlc and doesn't have any songs after that. I did notice that the app uses the version of splatoon songs found on the overpriced cds (basically just adding endings to some songs instead of lopping them) which is a nice touch

[@nintendude794]

Agreed. 1:00 unfortunately it isn’t “literally everything.” For instance, I just finished listening to DKC2 on the app, and it doesn’t have every variation of Diddy and Dixie’s victory and failure jingles. Metroid Prime seemed to be missing some material too, but I can’t put my finger on it. Oh yeah, and since Mario Kart 8 is your on-screen example, that one doesn’t seem to include the “In First Place” variants of any tracks, nor does it include “Final Lap” sped up versions. I for one would love access to all four variations of every track in MK8D’s OST in this app, somehow. I have a lot of other complaints about this app too, as an expert Spotify power user.

[@Oblate-spheroid]

hearing him talk about how every game on there has every song as a splatoon fan hurts my body and soul

[@photonic083]

groovy long legs' music from pikmin 4 is composed of several short segments (seriously, there's 66 of them in the folder), and all the rips on youtube are incorrectly assembled versions of the song. Afaik, I'm really the only person that can tell if that song was correctly assembled or not, but I don't have a NSO subscription, and I sure as hell ain't gonna buy one just to check the song in the music app. Given this, we'd be able to tell if the song was actually a new render made for this app specifically, or if they downloaded the track from youtube and slapped it on the app.

[@RoboticRAM]

You can try looking up the extended versions if they get the OGs taken down ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

True but Nintendo doesn’t like people doing that, and this is a more convenient way to do listen to it.

I can't wait to listen to environmental sounds for an hour on the Nintendo Music app when they release the Smash Ult ost

[@Bob-ombboy]

I want the Mario Kart DS soundtrack.

[@Saucesome]

Nintendo still hasn't even added all of the Splatoon 3 music that came in future updates to the service yet.

[@Mason-xk9jw]

The lack of 3ds songs really hurts me, because Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon is my favorite video game soundtrack, so it hurts to not see it here.

[@Used__Napkin]

I got hyped thinking I could play the New Leaf soundtrack, only to find out there isn’t even a 3DS category.

[@thefutureismeaninglessthep7364]

All of the 3ds system music could be its own category. System setup, settings, INTERNET MUSIC, all of the eShop soundtracks, ALL of it. That isn't even touching the _games._

[@nolanfamily1858]

Yeah me too I was so excited to listen to 3DS game but there is literally no 3DS game on there 😭

[@fabianugalde3789]

I honestly prefer Sega and Capcom game soundtracks, so this app does not affect me at all. I just hope this does not become a trend

[@DraftyDaftyHubertOHare]

Some of the names of the songs are so damn stupid and contradict naming conventions seen in other games, like Smash

[@finnh.316]

I want the music from Mario Party Superstars! I love the soundtrack.

[@Used__Napkin]

Honestly, the amount of games repped in the by app is disappointingly low, and having new titles release periodically is a really weird decision especially since they’re not using that time to make sure each track is properly credited to its composer/arranger. Going by the app’s current design, there’s no reason they couldn’t have released with all international developed modern games, and more first party titles for legacy platforms especially considering how many NES/SNES games are already available on NSO.

[@coolguy4-ls2gl]

Fire Emblem 3 houses has one of my favorite osts of any Nintendo game, I really hope it comes to the app soon

[@CrazyBilly-mt4lf]

If dry bones doesn't have a playlist I'm immediately uninstalling

[@BlueMarioGaming]

new super mario bros tower theme goes crazy. 🔥🔥

[@ChiniganDoodles]

Some other games music that were getting taken down were Pokemon Channel and Mystery Dungeon, or Skyward Sword, I noticed a ton not working on my moobot playlist a while back. On the bright side, having a clean and easy way to record normal, 15 min, 30 min, and hour long versions of these songs means there will be a LOT more rips of them on youtube going forward.

[@ks___]

as a person that cant afford nintendo online, this app seems to be really bad for the price youre paying. and thats not even counting in the lack of games.

[@Laylanator5000]

Mario Kart Wii, where is it. Literally has the most iconic soundtrack ever

[@justindinino6374]

No Batman music😢

[@AlexWormy2206]

rest in pec bat

[@Yoshihelicopter]

I wanted to hear the Batman 64 OST :(

[@theyoshigang2009]

On the topic of music getting taken down, about a day or so before the app was announced, one of the major Splatoon 3 Side Order playlists got all but two songs copyright stricken, causing the uploaded to hide them.

[@Equalizer2922]

My main gripe is the boring ahh UI/HUD. It’s literally a reskin if KZbin music and Spotify’s ui. Would be cool if we can change it to look like wii channels or something

[@TheSultan1470]

no

[@JordanKobernik]

Personally game soundtracks I really want on Nintendo music are Punch-Out Wii, obviously Smash Ultimate and Nintendo Land because those have such banging soundtracks

I've not heard of this app before so when i saw the title i thought you were going to rant about 'Nintendo music' and got really confused for a second lmao

It is for ~38 million people

[@chanderule605]

@@TicTacToeCraft Thats not how services work lil bro

[@TicTacToeCraft]

@chanderule605 I know those people have to pay for the subscription. I was just referring to how, right now, they are receiving a new service in addition to an existing subscription for which they were already paying (which could be argued is a free addition until the next payment). If they are continuing the subscription, then they have knowingly paid for the music service. That's what I meant. Feel free to disagree.

[@unnamedtoaster]

Ooh, with the app! I initially thought you meant the music in Ninendo games and was surprised that you didn't like it.

[@masoner789]

WAIT! CHAT! Maybe Atlus is willing to release all the persona songs on the Nintendo app instead of waiting for 3 years on Spotify.(I’m coping)

[@TicTacToeCraft]

Atlus is owned by SEGA, not Nintendo. So you're right about the coping.

[@Used__Napkin]

The first couple of SMT games are on Japanese NSO, so there’s a non zero chance it could happen, although it probably won’t.

[@shanegiorgio4713]

"Best I can do is FE7 on launch"

[@Your_LocalWizard]

Honestly, as far as features go, Nintendo Music is basically a perfect streaming platform for games, which makes it so much more disappointing with the lack of content, and I genuinely wish that third parties can add their music too. It's not entirely far fetched, because they got Sega Genesis games on NSO, so if they just pull that again to add literally any Sonic soundtrack to the service, I'd be more than satisfied

[@MrJoyCon]

You would in fact, be wrong about all the games having all their music, as splatoon 3 has NOTHING from side order or even anything from off the hook, as well as the songs from the grand Fest, especially rainbow color Inkantation, that one hurts Also the only version of calamari inkantaion it has is the 3mix version, so it doesn’t even have the original calamari inkantation! So I will be using KZbin music until they add all songs from splatoon 3

[@snivyboy168]

Some specific soundtrack uploaders they've struck I've noticed are Aacro Extensions, Official VGM Archive, Celextyn V2, and SplatMeggy. It's extremely annoying

[@marnsw]

The real problem is there is no Batman music 😔

[@TicTacToeCraft]

At least there is "Cool Bowser" music

[@hondaaccord1399]

This app's lineup of music is hilarious to me, since it feels more like the interns were given 10 gigabytes and told to fill it with music but not to go over it... Nintendo could've dropped 100, no, even just 50 games worth of music and this launch instantly would've felt more "worth it"
