Alright, so here’s the thing. You got these Easter eggs on the Switch 2 that transport you back to the GameCube days. Seriously, I tried it, and wow, the magic of nostalgia just hit me — like how a whiff of old books can teleport you to a different time. Anyway, those little tricks mimic the GameCube’s startup jingles, complete with a couple of alternate sound bites. Makes you wonder if Nintendo’s just as sentimental as us. Or maybe they just know we are. Painfully predictable humans, aren’t we?
Now, if you’ve jumped on the Switch 2 bandwagon with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack (mouthful, I know), you get to dive into classics like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Soulcalibur 2, and F-Zero GX right from the get-go. More goodies to follow? Fingers crossed. Can’t wait, but I digress.
Want to show off these quirky Easter eggs to your friends who still remember the early 2000s? And who doesn’t, right?
Anyway — no, wait, where was I? Right! The sound Easter eggs. Here we go:
Original Sound Easter Egg: It’s like slipping into a comfy old pair of shoes. Or socks. You get the point.
“Squeaky” Sound Easter Egg: Not entirely sure why they called it squeaky. It’s more of a—well, just try it. You’ll see. Or hear.
Hard Mode: Drum Sound Easter Egg: The drumbeat’s oddly satisfying. Maybe it’s got that down-to-earth, primal rhythm? Could be just me shooting in the dark here.
Even though the Switch 2’s the new shiny toy, Nintendo still seems to hold a candle for the good old GameCube. Guess some things never change. Or maybe they do — just in quieter, sneakier ways. Which is sort of charming, when you think about it.
