  • Loop songs for 15, 30, or 60 minutes
  • Create and share personal playlists
  • Built-in spoiler filter for game soundtracks
  • Personalized recommendations based on Nintendo Switch Play Activity

Available Soundtracks Include:

  • The Legend of Zelda
  • Super Mario
  • Animal Crossing
  • Splatoon
  • Metroid
  • Nintendogs
  • Kirby
  • Pokemon
  • Donkey Kong
  • Fire Emblem
