Nintendo pushed a significant update to its Nintendo Music app this week, adding CarPlay support, Android Auto support, Siri voice search, and a native iPad app in a single release. The Nintendo Music CarPlay update adds the game soundtrack app to car dashboards and tablet hardware for the first time, making it more usable across devices subscribers already own.<\/p>\n

The app is a free download but requires a Nintendo Switch Online membership. A seven-day trial is available for anyone without one, according to Nintendo.<\/p>\n

What the Nintendo Music CarPlay update adds<\/h2>\n

Nintendo Music now appears in the CarPlay app grid, giving drivers access to their full game soundtrack library, search, offline playback, and curated lists directly from the car’s built-in display, per 9to5Mac. It’s a full-featured version of the iPhone app, not a stripped-down companion. Voice commands can control playback and playlists while driving; Nintendo’s announcement explicitly advises against using the touchscreen at the wheel.<\/p>\n

Siri support, confirmed in Nintendo’s own release notes, currently covers track search by voice. That’s a focused scope, not full natural-language playlist control, as 9to5Mac notes. Engadget separately reports that voice functionality may also support mood-based playlist generation that adapts to your surroundings, though that detail doesn’t appear in Nintendo’s official release notes and should be treated as unconfirmed.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Music is also now a native iPad app, replacing the stretched iPhone layout iPad users had to live with before, according to 9to5Mac. The same update adds Android Auto support, giving Android drivers in-car access alongside CarPlay users. Available documentation covers the CarPlay side in considerably more detail than the Android Auto implementation.<\/p>\n

The update also adds music from Mario Kart World to the app’s catalog, confirmed by Nintendo. That’s a separate addition from the platform expansions, but it lands in the same release.<\/p>\n

How these additions…<\/h2>\n
