Wow, nostalgia alert! So, here’s the thing—Nintendo’s sneaky little devs decided to include some Easter eggs on the Switch 2. They basically brought back the GameCube’s iconic (and kinda meme-worthy) startup sound. I remember that sound so vividly! Anyway, it’s like, a playful hat tip to the old GameCube days. Y’know, for those of us who spent hours with a sticky controller in hand, possibly snacking on some Cheetos.
Now, hold up—Nintendo isn’t just stopping at one cute throwback. They’ve added a couple of other startup jingles from the GameCube too. Why? Maybe because it’s kinda fun. Or perhaps they’re just messing with us. Who knows. Either way, it’s taking me back to simpler times, like late-night gaming marathons. And, the Switch 2’s rolling out some classic games: Zelda: The Wind Waker, Soulcalibur 2, and F-Zero GX. Seriously, can I have my childhood back?
So, if you’re itching to relive a slice of the early 2000s, here’s your unofficial guide:
Original sound Easter egg: Uh, no idea why this is surprisingly emotional. Like a sonic time machine to past gaming sessions.
"Squeaky" sound Easter egg: This one’s quirky. Perhaps caused by a caffeine-fueled developer? Totally a guess.
Hard mode: drum sound Easter egg: It’s loud, it’s wild, and might even cause some laughs or raised eyebrows.
However, what clearly pops out is Nintendo has this soft spot for the GameCube. It’s like seeing an old friend and catching up. I mean, sure, the Switch 2 is fantastic, but who could forget the hours of joy the GameCube provided? Funny how some things never really leave us, right?
