I don't have a Switch nor a smart phone, so I can't use it, but I think it's kind of neat. Nintendo has such a wealth of good music that spans multiple decades, so it's great that they're giving their customers a way to listen to their music without having to boot up the games and go to the sound test (if there is one, some games don't have that). I know they've distributed CDs with music from some of their games, but they don't seem to be on the market for very long (if they were, I think some had to be ordered?) and some CDs were Japan-only, so like if say you want a Mario Party 3 soundtrack CD but you live in the US, then importing is your only option.
Nintendo has been taking a drip feed approach with their soundtrack releases, which I've seen some criticisms of. They do the same thing with Nintendo Switch Online games, but at least there you can spend quite a while on a game, meanwhile with music you'll go through a whole soundtrack within a day and people usually don't listen to the same soundtracks all the time. On the flip side, though, people seem to be having fun speculating over what game is going to be added next. And who knows, maybe Nintendo will surprise us and sometimes add multiple soundtracks at once, like what they sometimes do in NSO.
Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) just got added to Nintendo Music. It's nice to see Nintendo acknowledge that the DKC games have such good music, so good that they got the whole SNES trilogy covered in a little over two months! Donkey Kong 64 would be cool to see there; that game has some excellent songs (like Crystal Caves and Hideout Helm). I was looking at the MarioWiki article, and I burst out laughing when I saw that they just added a pre-made playlist for Wrinkly Kong!
