Spotted something odd lately — or maybe it’s just me? Let’s dive right into this amusing mix-up Nintendo’s playing with. You fire up the Switch 2, and boom, it’s like you’re back in the GameCube days. That jingly startup sound? Yeah, it hit me right in the nostalgia. I mean, seriously, it’s like a time machine or something, pulling all those vibes straight from the early 2000s. And I admit, I kinda love it.
Okay, rewind a sec — Switch 2 is doing this with the help of the Nintendo Switch Online games. We’ve got The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Soulcalibur 2, and F-Zero GX to kick things off. More might pop up later, but who knows? Anyway, those childhood (for some of us, at least) memories are right there, ready for a replay. That’s pretty neat, right?
So, how do you surprise your pals with these hidden gems? (The ones who lived through those GameCube days, or maybe younger ones who just pretend they did.) Read on, my friend.
### Original Sound Easter Egg
### “Squeaky” Sound Easter Egg
### Hard Mode: Drum Sound Easter Egg
Yeah, I didn’t spell them out. Keeping you in suspense, maybe? Couldn’t resist. Bottom line is, Nintendo’s got this thing for their older consoles — or maybe it’s just the GameCube. Honestly, given how much love they’ve thrown at it, don’t be shocked if a GameCube shrine pops up at their headquarters. Embrace it, or at least smile a bit next time your Switch 2 chimes a little differently.
