    Initial selection is only 23 games, not sure why they’re not just releasing everything.

    It’s to keep people returning to the app by artificially boosting the amount of updates.

    Either that or licensing issues, but I just wanna have my conspiracy theory.

      I think Nintendo already owns the rights to most (if not all) of the music for their games so I’m pretty sure your conspiracy theory is correct.
