No more apps please, I'd rather have access in a convenient way.

I initially agreed with you but after watching the demo, it has some game-related features that I'd imagine would be hard to implement in other applications such as:

  • Choosing the length of looping songs from 15, 30, to and hour which is ideal for background music.
  • Spoiler Free options where you can choose certain games to avoid being recommended/listen to.

Don't have Nintendo Online (only got it for Splatoon 3) but this product should've come out years ago when they introduced Nintendo Online.

Wii Channels for the win!

Nintendo has been taking down music for some years now, and now it wants to release a music service. They should had done this a long time ago.

The last thing i'm worried about being spoiled about is a video games soundtrack.

I’m already paying to play Smash Bros and Mario Maker online, so I might as well.

I’d much, much rather have these in a form I could purchase or, on a bigger streaming service, but this is something at least.

I do appreciate some of the neat gaming-specific features it has, like spoiler prevention (hiding songs you haven’t encountered yet) and looping tracks cleanly for extended periods of time.
