I've stopped predicting Nintendo Music updates. Brain Age alone should've made me know better. The pattern I can remotely see right now is a random track one week and a teased one the next, but I don't even want to go THAT far.
This is good for Wave Race fans, but it's just that I can't believe Super Mario 64 of all games keeps getting overlooked. I must have my Dire, Dire Docks! There's also still not a single Wii U or 3DS game yet.
Wave Race 64 before Mario 64 or Mario Kart 64 🤔
Ok now this I’ll be listening to!! I frequent Ocarina of Time and Star Fox and I’m 100% adding this to my rotation. Whoever thought of and approved making this music app are geniuses!
I listen to game music a lot and I don’t always sync it over to my phone because… well it could be embarrassing sometimes… but having it segregated over to this app and available as needed is so cool. I’m also someone who hates the idea of streaming things but for this it works well for me. It feels so Nintendo.
Good news for some, bad news for others. If you're still expecting them to release the popular tracks sooner, I'm sorry, but I'm well within my right to start doing this now:
This before Majora’s Mask or Mario 64 proves that this is the worst music app ever created
@YunoboCo Oh, come on. You can't say that. Not when Amazon Music exists.
Aww yeah baby, the GOAT!
I’m looking to see if the Nintendo music app has support for Apple CarPlay…and it doesn’t. I’ll try again later.
I found this game to not really be all that great, so I never bothered with the OST. I honestly think Kirby 64 and Majora were better N64 picks. Even Pilotwings 64, honestly.
Just reminds me that wave race was awesome
Still waiting on Zelda TotK and Eow 🙏🏻
This service is hilarious. I literally never have a clue what's coming next.
I really enjoy that they're not just doing the predictable drip feed. It's like the random nso drops. Hopefully they get this onto Android Auto soon.
THE BEST N64 OST
Loved this game, and I liked the music of this too. This is a win for me. Still want a new Wave Race game though.
Okay...
Goooood...
MAXIMUMMMM POWERRRRR!!
Hell yes. I know what I'm working to tomorrow!
No way!! Finally some WaveRace love!!
I love Wave Race 64, but it certainly is an odd time, always struck me as a summer-y game!
I didn’t realise it had “1997 version” tracks, were those songs changed in a rerelease?
@Grackler they released a rumble pak compatible version in JP. I have it and the rumble is so strong it’s off the charts. Beats HD rumble hands down.
I'm enjoying the app and use it a lot but really wish we'd get 2 or 3 releases each time rather than 1. There is more than enough music for them to do that. Is it a resourcing thing at Nintendo? I'm imagining they have 1 person working on this app in a back office 😂
So, a new "Wave" of songs arrives. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Now please Nintendo, release another Fire Emblem soundtrack, preferably the Three Houses one, or Shadows of Valentia.
The lack of 3DS and Wii U soundtracks is a bit jarring...
@N00BiSH Nice use of George of the Jungle there. Probably one of my favorite scenes from that movie.
Whilst I am enjoying the app it is a bit Switch-heavy for my liking as many of my more memorable game music comes from Generations 4 to 6. Gen 3 has some great tunes but the hardware held them back so I prefer them when they are played with actual instruments.
It just astounds me how some of Nintendo’s tent pole games have yet to be added; particularly from the SNES and N64.
It feels like Nintendo is walking a fine line, trickle it out so updates can continue well into the future but they need to be careful people don’t get tired of waiting and call it quits.
Love to see Wave Race 64 added to Nintendo Music - again, other than the consistency of the updates I really appreciate their variety, too!
Great soundtrack. I love the purity, it is very fitting for Wave Race 64.
1 more! 639 left
@Quasicat It can't even register when you put the same song in a playlist... I'm surprised it has a good UI and interface in general! 😂
I really could use some of the classics to make my playlists better and bigger.
But I always look forward to Tuesdays now, it's like a little fun present every week! 🤎
And this soundtrack has some fantastic laidback tracks, which are my favourites.
(And the chibi bums in the screenshots are sending me. They put so much detail in those for that time! 😂)
Yeah, Nintendo absolutely pressed the randomizer for their music release schedule
I love the unpredictability in their releases. Great update once again.
Wow Nintendo remembered that the Wave Race franchise exists. How about a new entry in the series, it's only been 23 years .
One of the best N64 soundtracks, pure mid-90’s splendour.
It's this game (along with Super Mario 64) that is my introduction to N64. Listening to the title music really hits the nostalgia in such a way that Mario music doesn't though because I don't often go back to it. Beautiful soundtrack.
Honestly I like the focus on lesser known games.
Yay another game 7% of fans will care about (although to be fair, the ones I want are more obscure too)
@Grackler It is summer in the southern hemisphere.
Interesting choice for them to add Wave Race 64 music instead of other highly-requested OSTs. There's no predicting Nintendo.
That being said, Wave Race 64 OST slaps so I'm not complaining.
Okay it isn't that I din't want this soundtrack but come on where are Mario 64, Wind Waker, & skyward sword? These games were promised to come soon and would each help to fill the many holes present
@KoopaTheGamer Very good point! It certainly isn’t a game with a “European seafront” vibe!
Although I would say that Nintendo haven’t traditionally cared all that much about that (they didn’t add an option in Animal Crossing games until New Horizons)
To be honest I don’t think the team uploading these are thinking that much about timing either, just working through the games in a pre-determined list. Maybe they’ll do some big drops around a major franchise release?
The sound track is kinda fire too though. I’m not complaining.
They should just stick the entire Switch Smash Bros soundtrack on here, that'd help cover A LOT of properties, and add fun versions of many tracks too
Nintendo: take away free music
Also Nintendo: give back a fraction of said music for a price
People, inevitably: "But what this or that OST-.."
Nintendo: "You will own nothing, and you will be happy with what -we- give you. Majora's Mask? Here have some Wave Race"
Right, rant over, time to put on Deku Palace 🤣
I'm really enjoying this app, because I love video game music, and I'm especially enjoying there extended selection as well.
