That carries a little more weight with a game that had sold nearly 50 million copies by early 2026, based on Nintendo\u2019s own sales figures, even if the app still doesn\u2019t do a great job of properly crediting composers and musicians.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nintendo Music comes at <strong>no extra charge<\/strong> with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
