The Nintendo Music app has the potential to open doors for concerts featuring the beloved music of the company’s iconic video games. Given Nintendo’s extensive list of popular titles and franchises, there is considerable interest in the prospect of live performances dedicated to its memorable soundtracks.
Historically, Nintendo has embraced live music, with numerous concerts showcasing its soundtracks. Notable events like Symphonic Legends have highlighted the iconic tunes from games such as The Legend of Zelda.
Additionally, the Splatoon series has also enjoyed live performances featuring its distinctive battle tracks and idol songs, indicating a successful precedent for such events. The recent launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been a remarkable success, but fans are eager for more clarity on the company’s 2025 lineup.
During the latest Nintendo shareholders meeting, president Shuntaro Furukawa addressed inquiries about potential live concerts. He indicated that the Nintendo Music app is part of a strategy to introduce a broader audience to the various soundtracks associated with the games.
Furukawa expressed a desire for players to experience their gaming memories through music and hinted at the possibility of future concerts, demonstrating that this idea is actively on Nintendo’s radar. While the success of the Switch 2 has given Nintendo reason to expand its outreach efforts, including movies and theme parks, the idea of a concert series remains uncertain.
Previous attempts at live performances have not always gone smoothly, with the planned Splatoon 3 concert being canceled due to threats made to staff and attendees. Despite these challenges, the engagement metrics from the Nintendo Music app could help the company gauge the feasibility of hosting concerts.
Fans hoping for such events are encouraged to keep supporting their favorite music tracks through the app, though it may be some time before any concert developments emerge.
