Tracking new VGM releases since 2022

The latest Nintendo Music drop is all about Virtual Boy

The latest Nintendo Music drop is all about Virtual Boy

Nintendo adds five new soundtracks to its streaming service.


You know the drill: every Friday, Nintendo populates its music streaming platform with either new games' OSTs, or unpacks older stuff in the hope of engaging a new audience. The sheer mention of Virtual Boy should tell you immediately which one it is this week. Boot up your Nintendo Music app to discover the original soundtracks from Virtual Boy Wario Land, Mario Clash, Galactic Pinball, Teleroboxer and Mario's Tennis.

Each of these games has already been available on Switch as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription. Today, Nintendo also announced that new exclusive games will soon join the ever-growing "Virtual Boy Classics" catalog, such as D-Hoppers and Zero Racer. Two games that actually never saw the light of day — they were canceled before release back in 1996.

In typical Nintendo fashion, you won't find any credits on the Music app. Head over to VGMdb to learn more about the people behind the music of those games!

A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo made waves by finally releasing the colossal OST to one of the first Switch 2 hits, Donkey Kong Bananza.
