Wind Waker is one of the seminal games of my youth.

When I hear Wind Wakers OST, I think about playing a special game with special people.

Like I said, not a big deal, but a mild inconvenience.

I was disappointed at how small the selection was when Nintendo Music first launched.

It had a few games that I loved, but many more glaring omissions.

Donkey Kong looking shocked in Donkey Kong Bananza.

There’s a surprisingly robust selection ofDonkey Kongtracks all three SNES DKC games but noPokemonsoundtracks pre-Scarlet and Violet.

F-Zero, Star Fox, and Fire Emblem are each only represented with one OST.

Similarly, the only Animal Crossing and Pikmin soundtracks come from the most recent games.

Its a bizarre, piecemeal selection.

Youre enjoying yourself, but you cant wait to hear that one song you really, really love.

Nintendo Music’s lack of options is like being really scared at a concert.

And not even because you’re17 and AFRAID of Sabrina Carpenter.

Will Nintendo finally add a soundtrack from a game released after 2023?

If so, could it be the outstandingEchoes of WisdomOST?

Will it happen next week?

The failure of the Wii U set the Switch up for massive success.

The Switch 2 can’t run that playbook.
