Nintendo Music – Announcement Trailer
Nintendo Music – Announcement Trailer
Rather than actually include their soundtracks on popular platforms, Nintendo graciously offers their own mobile app locked behind the Switch online subscription....
Make sure to download any fan songs/mashups/remixes you like off of YouTube, because if Nintendo haven't striked the fuck out of it already, they will now.
Cool. So now I can expect Nintendo to start a DMCA takedown campaign of all their music on YouTube, and completely destroy the playlists I made.
Coolcoolcoolcool
I'm pretty sure they were doing that already.
I've tried it and have a few thoughts:
Initial selection is only 23 games, not sure why they're not just releasing everything. I guess they're planning on parceling the music out like their emulators.
The choices of games are also kind of strange, like why 2 versions of Metroid? Why starfox 64 and not like Mario 64
The ability to extend songs up to 60 minutes is pretty cool
The idea of character specific playlists is interesting
It crashes semi frequently, not a good sign.
It does add value to the Switch online membership, but not much at this point.
This was something i noticed too. I probably won't be using the app much because i already have all their music i want in my iTunes cloud library but the selection is odd and the choice too release the music selectively feels strange too me. I feel like they'd get more profit if they had most of their stuff on their from the get go
Of course they're not doing it on Spotify, and instead choose to lock it behind their own subscription service.
Nintendo is such a greedy shitty corporation. I wouldn't even be surprised if now they are gonna go after people that posted their music elsewhere.
This would've actually been a perfect to be included with the alarm clock they recently released.
I've been using it today. And it's great fwiw
So looks like we continue to pirate Nintendo music
It's a bit odd, but it only needs the basic subscription. It's fair enough, I guess, gives a bit of extra value for the subscription. I can see why they wouldn't want to give access to their entire music library for free.
Nintendo is fucking ass. I bet the soundtracks aren't even lossless.
Fuck Nintendo
Nintendo sucks ass.
This could be good if they properly use their whole library.
