Nintendo has launched a music app, seizing on the appeal of video game playlists
Briefly

The early success of Nintendo Music, with over a million downloads, showcases the deep connection fans have with the nostalgic and memorable melodies of Nintendo's gaming history.
Ben Kidd states, "The strength of Nintendo's music really has to do with the strength of their early composers... The melodies are so strong, that they're easy to reuse, and very effective to reuse."

The rise of the Nintendo Music app reflects a broader trend where fans deeply cherish the emotive themes of video game music, revealing its cultural significance.
