Rather than actually include their soundtracks on popular platforms, Nintendo graciously offers their own mobile app locked behind the Switch online subscription....

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.

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.

Even if they had put it on Spotify they would've gotten royalties from there. Which would be a nice bonus for them, because I can't imagine anyone paying Nintendo Online just for the music.

I thought Spotify gave shite royalties.

So looks like we continue to pirate Nintendo music

Nintendo is fucking ass. I bet the soundtracks aren't even lossless.

This could be good if they properly use their whole library.
