ARMS added to Nintendo Music
Nintendo has clearly decided that some experimental ideas are worth bringing back to the forefront, and their latest Music update is a prime example of this strategic nostalgia.
Fans of the platform got a serious dose of retro energy today with the new addition to the Nintendo Music library. In a move that proves the studio isn’t afraid to play with its beloved, quirky intellectual properties, the update features a substantial hour and a half of music pulled directly from the 2017 Nintendo Switch original fighting game, ARMS.
This isn’t just a casual collection; Nintendo added a staggering 45 total tracks, diving deep into the soundtrack of the arcade-style brawler. It’s a delightful reminder that even games created years ago hold a vibrant and unique musical identity that deserves a second life.
While the focus is firmly on the nostalgic soundscape, the update also feeds the persistent, often whimsical, speculation swirling around the possibility of a sequel. The idea of bringing the world of ARMS into the next generation of Nintendo hardware, the Switch 2, has been a recurring thought among fans for some time.
Seeing Nintendo actively embracing and expanding upon these experimental IPs signals a willingness to celebrate the creative spirit behind their games. It suggests that the history and unique flavor of titles like ARMS are not relegated to the past, but are actively being integrated into the future of Nintendo’s creative output. It’s a smart way to keep beloved, unique gaming concepts alive and buzzing with new life.
