Nintendo Music delay fuels Switch Online game-drop expectations

Nintendo Music failed to update at its usual time while Nintendo pushed minor updates to the NES and SNES apps, prompting users to expect a Switch Online game drop.

Nintendo Switch Online members noticed updates to the console’s classic-game companion apps this week while the Nintendo Music app did not refresh at its regular time. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app is listed as Version 2.3.0 and the Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online app as Version 5.3.0.

Neither update includes release notes, and Nintendo has not announced any new games for the paid Switch Online service. The apps currently show no added titles in their in-app libraries.

Users monitoring Nintendo’s update cadence highlighted the missing Nintendo Music refresh as the immediate cause of renewed speculation. Nintendo has added NES and SNES titles to the service in intermittent batches previously, and some members expect app updates to align with new game releases.

Members can download the updated NES and SNES apps now, but any new games will require an in-app listing or an official announcement to be confirmed. Until Nintendo provides release notes or a schedule, the timing and content of any potential game drop remain unconfirmed.
