I don't think Duskbloods will be on Nintendo Music, even as a special release, it's FromSoft's IP and they're even publishing the game themselves (at least on the eshop), and I imagine they'll just put the soundtrack on regular streaming services like Apple Music

My guesses:

• F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
• Metroid: Zero Mission
• Star Fox Zero

I'm going all in on "zero" this week.

First week where I can guess something that isn't Sunshine, let's gooooo

• Majora's Mask
• Return to Dream Land
• Kirby's Adventure

@Nintoz
Off-topic, but unless there's someone else from the UK who also goes by "Nintoz", it seems like you might've played one of my Mario Maker levels recently? Hope you enjoyed! (Assuming that this person is actually you lol)

I was thinking the same as Grumble in terms of a possible Zelda direct. It's not necessarily this coming week but I have no better guesses for this week:

• Zelda Ocarina of Time Special
• Zelda Echoes of Wisdom
• Metroid Dread

@Sylamp I see it that the commitment to full exclusivity gives it a chance. Not identical as Monster Hunter Rise eventually came to other platforms but a bit like how we got a Monster Hunter Rise Tetris 99 theme even though every other game that got a theme was Nintendo published.

My guesses for the week will be as follows:

Majora’s Mask
Punch Out NES
Fire Emblem Three Houses

@Grumblevolcano Please do keep guessing Duskbloods because I'm gunning for your crown but I don't see it happening.
We are definitely due a blowout on this game before TGS and Gamescom though.

I'm voting for Metroid Zero Mission and the rest of Metroid Prime 4 because nothing sums up Nintendo's relationship with the series better than sending a birthday card a week late.
I will appeal to the chaos of Shedsan by adding a wild card option of Kid Icarus gods and monsters as part of a GameBoy mass drop.

you know, it's super unlikely at this point, but imagine if today is mk8's remixes just to mess with us.

anyways, kirby's adventure, link's awakening, or nintendogs + cats. not feeling anything specific this week.

Kid Icarus: Uprising
Super Mario Sluggers
NintendoLand
^{idk man}

@Robot99 Haha I may well have done! A little while back I had a look through the SMM2 Level Sharing thread and played through some of the level codes on there. Hopefully I ❤️ed it so I can play it again and tell you what I think but I'm sure it was fun.

This week I'll go for either Kirby's Adventure (NES), Metroid Fusion or Ring Fit Adventure!

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
Wario Land 3
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam

I believe that after the newest drop, the only Free Roam track selection left is from Mario Kart 8 right?

I find it interesting how the Bowser's Fury tracks are listed chronologically at the end of everything, despite being included as part of the regular 3D World playlist.

It’s interesting that the Bowser’s Fury tracks are paired with 3D World, since IIRC they’re treated as coming from separate games in MKWorld.

Anyway, I believe it’s just Mario Kart 8 Deluxe left for free roam. Y’know, as long as there aren’t any new tracks added to the game along with a DLC that shadow drops in a Direct at the start of September.

I like how the 3D Land Ground theme's screenshot is bunch of Para-Biddybuddies. Fitting since that was their debut.

@N00BiSH
My slow brain legit thought it was an actual 3DL screenshot for a few seconds when I first saw it!

we're definitively in the final stretch! and how convenient, next monday is the same day my classes start for the semester, so in a sense they carried this free roam through my entire summer break. very glad we're finishing up, although i am gonna miss the monday drops, cause i don't trust them to keep doing stuff... but maybe moving the main drops to thursday wouldn't make much sense if they were gonna move them right back only a couple months later.

ahem! anyways!

this 18-track drop brings us to ~88.55% (or 201/227) of all the free roam music, which is a ~7.93% increase. this is 1.76% (or, proportionally, ~28.53%) more than the previous drop.

@squiddu-real fellow school-starter next week here — having that last drop of Free Roam tracks to jam out to on my first night of proper study is gonna be bittersweet for sure.

must we hold a funeral for the death of multiple releases in a week?

also i got punch bowl from tropical freeze playing right now and i'm suddenly reminded of how much that ost needs to be on the app.

I wonder if next week's free roam drop will coincide with a new Mario Kart World update 👀
