Nonetheless, it seems just like the replace contained a number of extra tracks than Nintendo supposed, as a handful of them have since been eliminated.

5 tracks have been pruned this time — ‘A Brighter Future Awaits! (Grizzco recruitment video)’, ‘January 2017 trailer’, ‘Bonus Observe (After Octo)’, ‘Splatocalypse (Remaining Splatfest Trailer)’ and ‘Inkopolis Memorial Mixtape’ — all of which, in response to OatmealDome on BlueSky, have been beforehand launched solely on the Japanese soundtrack CD.

Whereas they caught round, these “hidden” tracks might solely be accessed within the Nintendo Music app through search slightly than the same old ‘All Tracks’ playlist.

The elimination was accompanied by the next message from Nintendo within the app’s ‘Notices’ tab:

Weirdly, it seems like when you saved any of the “hidden” tracks to certainly one of your private playlists and downloaded them, then you should still have entry to them. We would think about that is extra a bug than a hidden loophole, so get pleasure from ’em earlier than Nintendo catches on, we guess!

On the time of writing, it is unclear whether or not these mysterious tracks will ever make a comeback, although the precise wording of “not scheduled to be launched” above makes us suppose that we’d see them once more sooner or later sooner or later. Hey, it is Nintendo, who is aware of!
