Nintendo just announced Nintendo Music, a new initiative and app for smart devices. This is available starting today for Nintendo Switch Online members.
Nintendo Music provides various tracks from Nintendo franchises (like Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Splatoon 3, just to name a couple), plus curated playlists based on characters, in-game moments, and moods.
