Nintendo Music Adds 23 Kirby Switch Songs, With Rest Coming “Later This Year”

Nintendo has been regularly updating its Nintendo Music app with different soundtracks but this week it’s slightly different

Following the addition of multiple albums last week, today we’re getting just part of an album. It’s 23 tracks from the recent Switch title Kirby and the Forgotten Land – with the rest of the game’s songs scheduled to arrive on the app “later this year”.

Here’s the official notice about this:

“Twenty-three of the game’s tracks are here today, and the rest are coming later this year!”

Nintendo hasn’t explained why exactly it’s doing this, but this is the first time an update has included a notice like this. The Kirby and the Forgotten Land “complete” soundtrack contains over 100 songs, so this initial drop is a warm up ahead of the full album drop.

Here’s what you can listen to in the first part of this update:
