Since you "double check", can you give us a source for your claim?

Nintendo targeting soundtracks again, removing Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time soundtrack uploads from Youtube

Does this mean Nintendo is going to start releasing their soundtracks in full on music platforms? Given their track record with soundtracks, probably not unfortunately.

HEY NINTENDO

SPOTIFY EXISTS

IF SQUARE OF ALL PEOPLE CAN GET OFF THEIR ASSES AND PUT CHRONO TRIGGER ON IT THEN SO CAN YOU

Fuck Nintendo. You just know they aren't planning on making it legally widely accessible through other means themselves.

Unpack this more: what benefit does Nintendo derive from allowing people on YouTube (or wherever) to upload their music? Could the same be extended to film soundtracks or TV scores or whatever other medium you want to apply it to?

It allows people to remain emotionally attached to the IP while not actively playing the game, making it more likely for them to purchase future titles and merchandise related to that IP. Not saying that's a legal justification, but there are clear benefits to Nintendo allowing its fans to actually engage in being fans.

Most film scores are commercially available, whereas Nintendo doesn't provide many other avenues to listen to music from its titles.

This may be speculation on my part, but maybe Nintendo is about to do something major regarding their music? Like release it all on their own app? Idk, it might be random but maybe there's a point to it all. I will miss my work music, RIP GilvaSunner.

Between this and the constant copyright striking of rom communities, it's clear that Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about preservation.

Nintendo is good about preserving content.

It just doesn't like giving away content.

the thing that frustrates me the most about all of this bullshit is that I would gladly listen to the soundtracks on a service that would earn nintendo revenue

if they would fucking add it to them

I haven't owned a CD player outside of the one in my car for literally decades, and my PC doesn't have a CD drive.

This, I can't believe they haven't taken this step. Like what's the drawback? We got XB2 and 8 tracks from Odyssey on iTunes and that's it
