All up there are 86 new songs you can listen to right now. And as long as you have an ‘active’ Switch Online sub and the app downloaded, you’re good to go!

Drag me to bullet-hell.
We’ve been keeping an eye on Savant – Ascent Remix ever since Owlboy developer D-Pad Studio first mentioned it was returning to its debut title early last year. That planned remaster would turn into a full-blown sequel a couple of months later, with a Steam release landing in September 2023.

Ironically, no trading allowed.
Digital card games like Marvel Snap have seen a lot of success in recent years with short, satisfying matches that you can finish in a few minutes.

The Nintendo Music app is awesome. The chance to listen to official Nintendo music from Nintendo might not seem like too big of a deal, but after all these years of asking, it certainly feels like one.
However, with a library of iconic soundtracks now at our fingertips, some have started to reminisce about when Nintendo did this before. Not in an app, but in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Come on, don’t tell us you had forgotten about the music player!

Music to our ears.
Nintendo has launched a dedicated mobile app called ‘Nintendo Music’ for Switch Online members, allowing users to stream and download a variety of music tracks from the firm’s wide range of franchises.
Available later today, the app will contain music from new releases along with retro classics from Nintendo’s library, and also includes the ability to hide certain tracks that may contain game spoilers, as well as extend or loop tracks so you can keep listening for longer.
