Since the launch of the Nintendo Music app in October 2024, Nintendo has consistently been expanding the service (free for Nintendo Switch Online members) with more soundtracks from their extensive library of games.
Today’s update includes 40 minutes of music from the 1991 classic Game Freak puzzle game, Yoshi. The Game Boy version has 18 tracks, while the NES version has 11. There are no curated playlists this time around, but there is the usual Extended-Playback Collection, which allows you to listen to select tracks with a seamless loop.
Nintendo Music is available now for iOS and Android devices from their respective app stores.

Level-5 recently published an anti-piracy statement online which asks “our community to refrain from downloading or using pirated copies of our games.” The issue is that loyal gamers outside of Japan have no way of playing some of the older titles such as Yo-kai Watch on Nintendo 3DS (listed on eBay for as high as $1,823) and Yo-kai Watch 3 copies (around $800 to $900) without resorting to piracy. Other Japanese companies such as Capcom and Square Enix always do global releases and attempt to make older games playable on modern formats. Here’s a few responses to the Level-5 post piracy post via Dexerto.
“I don’t know what Level 5 is expecting? They gave up on the international market years ago, put out marginal worldwide releases, and then are surprised people pirate their older games? Lol. Most of the latter Yokai Watch games aren’t even available outside of Japan,” one user wrote.
“I get it as a company, but what are we fans supposed to do when the distribution of Yo-Kai Watch in many places, like the West, have been stopped, and it is physically unrealistic for us to support you as a company because you won’t distribute it to us for our language,” another fan commented.
