Nintendo Music App Adds Golden Sun Soundtrack, Expanding Retro RPG Selection

Nintendo has expanded its Nintendo Music app by adding the soundtrack of the classic Game Boy Advance RPG, Golden Sun. This addition marks the 38th soundtrack available on the app, bringing the total listening time to over 93 hours.

Golden Sun’s soundtrack features 54 tracks, totaling nearly two hours of music. Notably, the app offers an “Extend To…” feature, allowing users to loop many of these tracks for 15, 30, or 60 minutes—perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in Motoi Sakuraba’s legendary compositions.

Released in October 2024, the Nintendo Music app is available to Nintendo Switch Online members. It provides access to a curated selection of soundtracks from various Nintendo games, spanning multiple generations and consoles. Nintendo has committed to regular additions over time, with soundtracks from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Metroid Prime already in the mix.

Developed by Camelot Software Planning, Golden Sun launched in 2001 for the Game Boy Advance and quickly gained a cult following. Its blend of turn-based combat, puzzle-solving, and deep lore made it one of the most beloved RPGs on the system. With fans still hoping for a new entry in the series, this soundtrack addition is a welcome nod to the franchise’s lasting legacy.
