Nintendo Music adds Rhythm Heaven Groove tracks in special update

Nintendo Music has received a special release update that adds songs from Rhythm Heaven Groove, the newly launched entry in Nintendo's long-running rhythm series.

Beyond the headlines — that the update is tied to Rhythm Heaven Groove's launch and carries the "special release" label Nintendo uses for timely, game-adjacent drops — the sources don't provide a track count, specific song titles, or version number for the Nintendo Music update.

Rhythm Heaven Groove is the latest installment in Nintendo's Rhythm Heaven series, which has been dormant since Rhythm Heaven Megamix on 3DS in 2015. The series is developed internally at Nintendo and is known for its quirky minigame-style rhythm challenges. Reviews for Groove are currently coming in, suggesting the game launched very recently alongside this music update.

Tying Nintendo Music updates to new game launches has become a pattern for Nintendo, giving subscribers an immediate musical taste of new releases. No further details on additional planned content drops were available at the time of writing.
