Nintendo has expanded its streaming app Nintendo Music with the complete score from ARMS, the 2017 Nintendo Switch fighting game. The addition totals 45 tracks and runs about one hour and 30 minutes, giving subscribers access to battle themes, stage music and menu audio from the title.
What's included in the ARMS soundtrack
The newly added catalog spans the game's core competitive structure, including the ARMS Grand Prix Theme, Fighter Select and Training tracks, along with stage-specific music for arenas such as Spring Stadium, Ribbon Ring, Sky Arena and Scrapyard. It also covers special match modes like Party Crash, with separate versions for its lobby, bonus period and results screens, as well as boss-encounter tracks tied to Hedlok and Dr. Coyle. Rounding out the list is the audio from the 2017 Nintendo Switch Presentation Trailer that first introduced the game, giving listeners a piece of the title's original reveal.
How Nintendo Music works
Nintendo Music is the company's official app for streaming soundtracks from its own game library, functioning similarly to other on-demand audio services but limited to Nintendo-published music. Tracks can typically be browsed by game, searched individually, or queued into playlists, and the app has steadily grown its catalog since launch by adding soundtracks from older and newer titles alike. Access requires an active Nintendo Switch Online membership, and availability is restricted to the official app rather than third-party platforms, which keeps distribution within Nintendo's licensed ecosystem.
Why ARMS still matters
ARMS debuted in June 2017 after being unveiled at a Nintendo Switch Presentation earlier that year, introducing a fighting-game format built around characters with extendable, stretching arms, each carrying distinct attributes suited to different combat styles. The game's influence extended beyond its own release: series character Min Min later joined Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a downloadable fighter, bringing the Spring Stadium arena with her as a playable stage. That crossover helped keep ARMS visible to players who never owned the original game, and the soundtrack's arrival on Nintendo Music offers another avenue for longtime fans to revisit its music without needing to boot up either title.
