Here at RetroNews, we’ve been following the Nintendo Music app ever since it first launched, back in 2024, keeping you updated of additions of retro Nintendo soundtracks to the service, such as tracks from Super Mario World, F-Zero, The Legend of Zelda 2, and Super Mario Land 2, and the latest retro Nintendo soundtrack to be added to Nintendo Music is that of the SNES version of SimCity, which was added to Nintendo Music today (August 21, 2026).

Developed by Will Wright, and published by Maxis, SimCity was originally released on Amiga and Mac back in 1989, with a number of 16-bit and 8-bit ports following, including the SNES version in 1991, which included some Nintendo-specific additions, such as the game’s monster attacks being from Bowser, rather than from a generic “monster,” and the ability to raise a Mario statue in your city. Could the addition of tracks from the SNES version of SimCity indicate that the game will soon be added to Switch Online’s Nintendo Classics catalog?
