Switch 2 Embraces GameCube Nostalgia with Hidden Startup Sound Easter Eggs

Alright, so let’s dive into the world of the Switch 2. And, honestly, I don’t even know why this jumped out at me, but it’s like a trip down memory lane to the GameCube days. You remember that? That original tinkly kind of jingle that just sticks with you? Yeah, it’s back. Sort of. But, here’s the kicker – they’ve also thrown in a couple of those alternate startup sequences from the old days. It’s like Nintendo’s way of saying, “Hey, we see you, GameCube fans.” Or maybe they’re just in a nostalgic mood. Who knows.

Anyway – or wait, maybe this isn’t the best way to start – if you’re keen to show off these Easter eggs to your friends who can’t stop talking about their early 2000s Nintendo days, here’s how you’re gonna do it. Just be prepared for some “Oh wow, I remember that!” moments. Seriously, it’s like a little treasure hunt.

Okay, first up, let’s talk about the sound thing. Original sound Easter egg. Just like you remembered it. And, speaking of reminiscing, the “squeaky” sound Easter egg is here too – trust me, it sounds weirder than you think, but in a good, nostalgic way.

Now, if you’re feeling adventurous, there’s the hard mode with this drum sound Easter egg. No, I didn’t make that up. It’s a thing.

Look, it’s clear that while the Switch 2 is getting a lot of the spotlight right now, Nintendo hasn’t forgotten its roots. Especially when it comes to the GameCube. I mean, it’s kind of nice, right? Like they’re giving a little nod to the past while charging full steam ahead.

Anyway, if you’re into this kind of nostalgia trip, go ahead and check it out. It’s like opening a time capsule, tucked away inside your Switch 2.
