Here’s every song included
- by Liam Doolan
Nintendo has been quite busy today with the rollout of a system firmware update for the Switch 1 & 2 and a new “Handheld Boost Mode”.
It hasn’t forgotten about the weekly Nintendo Music app update, announcing it’s (finally) added the album from the 1994 SNES title, Super Metroid.
This album was composed by Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano. Yamamoto has composed multiple Metroid games over the years and he was most recently credited on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Hamano has also been involved with many Metroid titles throughout her career and was also credited on Samus’ latest outing.
