Switch 2 Delights GameCube Fans with Hidden Startup Sound Easter Eggs

Alright, here goes nothing. So, there I was, reminiscing about the GameCube days. You remember those? The days when games didn’t update every time you blink? Anyway, the Switch, or Switch 2—or whatever they’re calling it now—has hidden little treasures, nods to the GameCube. Crazy, right? I mean, that adorable jingle from back then? Yeah, that’s back! Not just repeating history; it’s like a trip down memory lane.

And let’s not forget those quirky other sounds the GameCube had. I think they were meant to surprise you—or maybe distract you while you waited. Nostalgia’s a wild thing, isn’t it?

So, if you get this fancy Switch 2 with the Nintendo Switch Online thing (you get more games with it, incidentally—like Wind Waker and F-Zero GX, which, if you ask me, sounds amazing), you can dive back into that era. Makes you feel all fuzzy inside, doesn’t it?

If you’re itching to try this Easter egg stuff, it’s all about showing off to anyone who still remembers what gaming was like in the early 2000s. Those sounds: original, squeaky, and that drum one that sort of feels like a hard mode? Yep, they’ve got it all. Almost like Nintendo’s saying, “We haven’t forgotten the good ol’ days.”

Okay, so this Switch 2 thing might be their shiny new toy, but you can totally tell they can’t let go of the past. Kinda sweet, don’t you think? Like, even in this big, brave new world of gaming, the GameCube’s spirit still lingers on.
