Nintendo Music update 1.4.0

Nintendo has just released an update for Nintendo Music, with this version being 1.4.0. If you’ve already downloaded the app on mobile, you should be able to update it now.

This update brings a new feature for some of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons tracks, allowing them to be matched to the current time. When you press “play hourly tracks” on one of the designated playlists, it will play a track matching your time until the end of the hour. For example, playing “A Rainy Day” at 9:42PM will play the track “9:00 PM” for 18 minutes.

Metroid Prime 4 release date

Two Nintendo Switch 2 ads have surfaced showing unreleased gameplay footage for the upcoming Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Famiboards user BackwardsCompat posted the video links on the website earlier today.

Both ads only run at 15 seconds long, with there also being a Youtube Shorts version of each one. These ads are also more centered around the Nintendo Switch 2 rather than the upcoming title, therefore they don’t show very much aside from an unseen boss. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is only a month and a half away from its release, so we should be expecting these ads to be going public soon in tandem with the holiday season.

You can see the two ads, and their Youtube Shorts versions below:
