'Nintendo Music' Adds New Switch Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included

Thank goodness we have a new soundtrack that doesn't last like 30 mins

Not gonna lie... I've been waiting for this entry specifically, and I'm pretty excited for it. Doubley so because they listed the in-game band for each song. They even included the Octo Expansion!

Haha, YES, finally a world wide release of "#$@$* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin'"

I wasn’t expecting a game I wanted, so I’m happy Splatoon 2 is here after all, and with Octo Expansion included! It’s good to have the songs from updates that weren’t included in the Splatune 2 CD Japan got. Now I’m just waiting for Super Mario 64, which might surprisingly take a while.

Here are my top five tracks:
1. Shark Bytes- A very intense track that really captures the struggle to reach the surface
2. Fly Octo Fly/ Ebb & Flow (Octo)- That final battle was stressful at the time but the song being so catchy helps, and the Ebb & Flow segment makes getting those last few bombs so satisfying.
3. Shooting Starfish- This banger of a track is my jam from the main story mode.
4. Ebb & Flow- It captures the tense, yet playful nature of a Splatfest battle perfectly.
5. Dubble Bath (DIY Remix)- My favorite Splatoon lobby theme. I had fun messing around with the music and voice effects.

I also want to acknowledge #8 regret for being one of the saddest tracks I’ve ever heard.

@HeadPirate ah, yes. Put that in the playlist next to Long Distance of Murder and Remnants of Fresh Greens.

Ignoring my dislike for the Splatoon games and OSTs and thinking critically, I think this means we will see a major Switch game as the first OST added each month.

Still waiting for Tears of the Kingdom

So about 2 minutes a song, that's a big ol' update. 214 minutes of music, too bad the app still isn't my jam but good for Nintendo trying to support it. Plus it is free

I vastly prefer 3's OST, buuuut... I do love of some more Dedf1sh tunes!

Still no Side Order? 😞

This is one of my favourite OSTs ever!

I’m still hoping we get the Xenoblade trilogy soon. Those soundtracks are on another level

I grew out of my Splatoon phase before 3 came out, so this is music that I'm much more familiar with. Might give the Spicy Calamari Inkantation a whirl

I can't imagine just sitting down and listening to the whole Splatoon soundtrack straight. It works very well in-game but even just making it through one song on its own can be a bit grating.

I just want the Gameboy Pokemon songs. I’ll be happy with that. No one asked for tgis

finally an ost with some meat on its bones, but im already out of the honeymoon phase with the music app. nintendo treats the app as more a supplement to dripfeed OSTs than as a replacement, so ill probably just check back in a year or something once its actually LOADED with new songs

#$@$* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin' remains one of the best song titles ever

I'm really not into Splatoons soundtrack, so nummer for me. But this is some awesome news for the rest of you all!

Glad to hear they include the expansion!! Dividing everything into bands.. They really did the works for this one! 🤎

I get having 1 release a week but I wish we got 1 Switch and 1 classic OST a pop. Still no Mario 64! How!

@NFrealinkling The fact that Splatoon 2 immediately has Octo Expansion music makes Side Order omission all the more weird.

There are actually an additional 5 tracks from promotional material which, for whatever reason, were not included in the All Tracks playlist despite also being added today:
1. A Brighter Future Awaits! (Grizzco Industries Recruitment Video)
2. January 2017 Trailer
3. Bonus Track (After OCTO)
4. Splatocalypse (Final Splatfest Trailer)
5. Inkopolis Memorial Mixtape

@Polley001 And where did you find those tracks?

@BTB20 Searched for them, they were included in the soundtrack releases so I assumed they'd be here too, and well they are.

@Polley001 Thanks for that. Inkopolis Memorial Mixtape is especially good.

I wonder if they'll ever release the soundtrack for games like Xenoblade Chronicles... That's what I am waiting for. Or possibly Princess Peach Showtime, I quite like that game's soundtrack!

Glad they got #$@$* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin' .

Splatoon 2 has an amazing soundtracked.Excited to listen to this on my flight today.

@Yosher exactly. I wonder why I haven’t seen anybody notice this

@NFrealinkling @Yosher The lack of Side Order music is because the official soundtrack release (titled Ordertune) hasn't released yet, that'll only happen on December 11th. It'll probably take at least a few months for it to be added to Nintendo Music in order to not hurt sales.

@Polley001 Thanks for the heads up, I didn’t even know that an official physical release was a thing. But Nintendo has done no marketing for this, and from a quick google search it’s on CD which hardly anyone uses anymore. I feel like they should market this more and put it on vinyl or something or just put it on Nintendo music

I might be in the minority here but when it comes to the battle music I’m not a fan of the Wet Floor tracks when the game launched. Splat 1 (Squid Squad) and 3 (C-Side) delivered a stronger vibe in comparison. I do like Ink Theory and Bottom Feeders though as their wilder and out there arrangements fit the “post-apocalyptic-sea-creatures-turned-land-dwelling-and-picked-up-instruments-and-started-jamming” lore better. That could be just me, though.

@NFrealinkling Music on CD still thrives in Japan, and is even sold in once-thought-dead music chain stores like Tower Records and HMV. Heck, one of the Salmon Run exclusive gear outfits from 2 is literally a Tower Records employee uniform! (a nod to a collab Nintendo had with Tower when the first soundtrack released, IIRC) I’m still trying to get the Splatune CDs but time and importing made the price skyrocket. In general, a lot of anime, pop idol, and game music CDs release there as part of their revenue since collectors be collecting. I don’t know about their actual music scene though, it seems strong enough to keep dedicated music stores viable at least.

My top 5 additions would be:

1. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
2. Fire Emblem: Three Houses
3. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
4. Smash Bros Ultimate (highly unlikely, but one can wish)
5. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

YES! Now all we need is Splatoon 1 and my life will be complete. The Splatoon series has my favourite soundtrack ever!

Fingers crossed for Splatoon 1, that soundtrack is so classic.

@Polley001 That's a really good explanation actually. Thanks!

@HeadPirate If Nintendo adds an update to Alarmo that makes #$@%* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin play if you don’t wake up after 20 minutes with Pearl representing it, I’ll probably consider buying one in the future
