Alright, listen up. So I stumbled onto this Nintendo Music app thingy, which, let’s be real, is a goldmine if you’ve got a Nintendo Switch Online sub. It’s like diving into a massive ocean of tunes from games stretching back almost, what, like 40 years? Phew, that’s older than my vinyl collection—if I had one.
And the crazy part? You can stream or just download ’em for offline jamming. No Wi-Fi? No problem. Imagine grooving to the wild beats from Super Mario Bros. or the epic vibes of Zelda while pretending to read a novel in a coffee shop. Do people still do that? Anyway, the Splatoon tracks? Absolute earworms, let me tell you. You can hunt for songs using game titles, track names, or even by squinting at a screenshot. Who does that? Probably just me.
Apparently, this thing’s got more tracks coming, so here’s what we’ve got so far… bear with me, it’s a bit of a mixed playlist from various consoles:

Animal Crossing: New Horizons (lost hours here)

Now, wrap your head around this—Nintendo Music is free with that Switch Online sub. So, if your console’s collecting dust, maybe it’s time to brush it off just for the music. Seriously, it’s like a free trip down memory lane with a funky soundtrack.
