Alright, let’s dive into this. Okay, so there’s this cool thing going on with the Switch 2—it’s like Nintendo decided to take us on a little nostalgia trip back to the GameCube days. Remember that quirky, kind of tinkly startup sound the GameCube used to have? Yeah, that one. So, apparently, the Switch 2 can mimic that. Why? Maybe just for kicks. Or because who doesn’t love a good throwback, right?
Oh, and it’s not just the basic sound. They threw in a couple of other startup sequences from the GameCube too. I guess if they’re gonna dive in, might as well go all out. Feels like a warm hug from the past—and now it’s wrapped up in this Switch 2 package. Which, by the way, has exclusive games from that era if you’re rocking the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack thingy. Stuff like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (classic, by the way), Soulcalibur 2 (never nailed those combos), and F-Zero GX (speed demons unite). Apparently, they’ll drop more games as they go. Or at least, that’s what we hope.
Okay, so if you wanna show off a bit and bring those Easter eggs to life: there are a few tricks, and they’re not rocket science but kinda fun to mess around with.
### Original sound Easter egg
### “Squeaky” sound Easter egg
### Hard mode: drum sound Easter egg
By the way, while everyone’s all hyped about the Switch 2, it’s clear Nintendo hasn’t forgotten its roots. The GameCube’s got a special place in their heart. Or maybe it’s ours, and they just know it. Whatever, it’s nice to see the old and new converge into something unexpectedly delightful.
