On August 21, Nintendo began distributing the soundtrack for the Super Famicom version of SimCity on its Nintendo Music service. The 1991 game, ported by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems from Maxis's 1989 PC original, features continuous BGM composed by Motoyo Oka. This release is the first complete version, covering tracks omitted from the 1992 Toshiba EMI album, which is now out of print.
The Super Famicom version of SimCity, released in 1991, was a Nintendo and Intelligent Systems arrangement of Maxis's 1989 PC game. It added continuous BGM by Motoyo Oka, whose music changes as the city develops, plus a Dr. Wright advisor character and Bowser as a disaster replacement.
The soundtrack previously appeared in 1992 on Toshiba EMI's "Nintendo Super Famicom Game Music," which included six tracks plus two arranged by Takami Asano. That album and the Warner Bros. "Orchestra Game Music Concert 2" are out of print as of 2026. The Nintendo Music release is the first complete version, including tracks not on the old album.
Nintendo Music is available for iOS, Android, and browsers, offered to Nintendo Switch Online members.
