20 Famicom/NES Games Arrive on Nintendo Music

After a long stretch of slowly adding one game at a time, Nintendo has brought 20 NES/Famicom games to their music streaming app, all at once! These include the ports of the arcade Donkey Kong series, sports titles, some originally Japan-only games, and more. A few even have extended playlists. That's over 222 songs, though many are short jingles.
