Alright, so there’s this thing about the Switch that’s got everyone, like, nostalgic or whatever. You know, Switch 2 can do this GameCube startup sound thing? Yeah, that tinkly, kind of meme-y sound that we all secretly loved—or maybe openly, who’s to say.
I mean, GameCube was a vibe, right? And now Switch 2’s giving us all those old Nintendo feels again. They threw in some alternative startup sequences, too. Like, as if one wasn’t enough? But hey, who’s complaining—nostalgia sells. Or maybe we’re just suckers for those early 2000s vibes.
So, Switch 2 owners with this fancy Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack (mouthful much?) can dive into The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. And, oh, remember Soulcalibur 2? F-Zero GX? They’re back, baby. Apparently, more are coming. Eventually. Or whenever they feel like it, really.
Wondering how to show off these GameCube Easter eggs? Yeah, it’ll dazzzle your friends. Or confuse them. Both are fun.
Original sound Easter egg — Honestly, why did this sound stick? But here we are.
“Squeaky” sound Easter egg — Squeaky vibes? Go figure.
Hard mode: drum sound Easter egg — Because life needed a hard mode, right?
Look, Switch 2 is very much the star right now, but don’t be fooled—Nintendo’s not about to let us forget those older consoles. Especially GameCube. It’s like an old friend popping by to say, "Hey, remember when things were simpler?"
