Khushrenada:
So, I was right. The updated OST libraries of putting duplicates over multiple systems, like Wii U and Switch of Mario Kart 8, was something done last week. When on the home screen and clicking my user icon, there's a menu that mentions updates and clicking on that had a little blurb about that duplication being done.

After pining for the Wind Waker OST, of course we get Super Mario 64 this week instead. The old video game trope of never getting the item you want while getting everything you aren't asking for lives on. I did not expect the N64 to be the system pulling away in second place with available OSTs but here we are. Perhaps it has something to do with all that N64 NSO emulation work.

Wind Waker is now the last known or expected OST still left to grace the app after the reveal trailer. Does that mean next week is its time to shine or will it be put off another week and something else is thrown out of left field? (Like Super Mario RPG. Let's start pining for that top level soundtrack.) Maybe we see our first 3DS game next week if Wind Waker continues to be lost adrift in the ocean of OST content to come.

Ocarina of Time's OST sounds slightly different on the 3DS which is probably why it isn't listed for both.

Khushrenada:
I was going to make a joke back around Dec. 30 that it was the day the music died when there was no update to the app. Rather than release The Wind Waker OST, Nintendo would rather just quit supporting the app at that point. Wondered if this meant we'd get two updates last week but it was just a single addition with DKC3. That said, maybe DKC3 is good enough to count for two OSTs. I do think it's a bit under-rated in the trilogy. It may not have any of the highs and instant classics that were in 1 and 2 but I also don't think there are any lows or at least less stuff I want to skip past like I do in some of the first two games. It's just pretty solid and more atmospheric and works well as background music.

That said, The Wind Waker has now finally arrived. Over three and a half hours. I didn't recall the OST being that big but that'll keep me busy listening through it now. I just hope it doesn't create a big longing for me to boot the game up and play through it again. I'd already been feeling nostalgic for doing another playthrough of the game before this so maybe it will drag me back in to its world. It's also the end of the list of music Nintendo advertised as coming to the app. At this point, it will just be a wild guess and surprise as to what's next unless Nintendo drops another of what's to come in a future direct or announcement.

I was wondering if we might see DKCR's OST with it releasing this week but that was not the case. Will it hit the app sooner or later though? Perhaps it will provide a clue of whether we might see XCX's soundtrack close to around the time it releases in a couple months or not.

Khushrenada:
Over a month since I've said anything in this thread. Since Wind Waker OST was added, the SNES overtook the N64 to now have the second most OSTs available after the Switch and last week finally saw the 3DS get added to the library with its first OST. And I was certainly not expecting Streetpass Mii Plaza to be that OST. Will Switch 2 have some kind of Streetpass feature? Is that why they're suddenly reminded everyone of it and bringing up the nostalgia so that people ask for Nintendo to do something like that again? Who can say? The last question now is whether Game Boy Color games will get their own separate section or be lumped in with the Game Boy games.

Super Mario Bros. 2 is this weeks edition which is a big shrug from me. Just not an 8-bit chip tune fan. I'll always prefer the Super Mario All-Stars versions of those NES games. I've listened to all the Game Boy and NES games so far. Even played through a couple times to see if I felt there was anything worth adding to the Favorites list I've been creating but anything that's ok or good there, I know there can be a better version found in another OST so I'll just wait for those. Like the Kirby or Metroid music.

I'm glad its been slower to add those OSTs but I'm also a bit surprised as I thought they might do a lot more of the older stuff than newer sort of like how Virtual Console or the Switch Online apps always seemed to roll out stuff more in a older to newer generation pattern. No DKCR OST added yet so it doesn't appear that newer releases have any inside track on joining the app.

What might we be getting next week? I'm going to guess a Kirby soundtrack and I'll go with the Kirby 64 OST as the specific one.

BeautifulShy:
I love this new app.   I used to listen to OCRemix back in the day and even some every so often.  So I have been waiting for something like this.   One of the things I collect in Nintendo CDs like the Killer Cuts Killer Instinct, Smash Bros Orchestra and similar CDs. 

I would wish that one of the things they do with this app, after they finish up most of the main titles, is to go into these specialized compilations like I used to collect so they are available to everyone.
