It's a bit odd, but it only needs the basic subscription. It's fair enough, I guess, gives a bit of extra value for the subscription. I can see why they wouldn't want to give access to their entire music library for free.

Even if they had put it on Spotify they would've gotten royalties from there. Which would be a nice bonus for them, because I can't imagine anyone paying Nintendo Online just for the music.

I thought Spotify gave shite royalties.

Well the entire music industry is using it, can't be that bad.

And like I said, I imagine it would actually bring more money to the table than being a Nintendo Online exclusive.
