Alright, so here’s the thing about these Nintendo Switch 2 Easter eggs—kind of feels like a little treasure hunt for the soul, yeah? I mean, remember the GameCube? Those were the days. Life was… simpler? Or maybe I’m just nostalgic. Anyway, the Switch 2 is sort of like taking a time machine back to those times, without the actual time machine. It’s got these neat little nods to the old GameCube startup sequence—like a musical time warp—along with some bonus startup sounds. Wild, right? Not gonna lie, the whole thing gives me all sorts of warm fuzzies.
So, if you’re one of those people who wore out the GameCube back in the day—shoutout to The Legend of Zelda enthusiasts—you might get a kick out of this. Speaking of, if you’ve got that Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, you can dive right into games like The Wind Waker, Soulcalibur 2, and, oh yes, F-Zero GX. More to come—I’ve heard. Who knows which gems they’ll unearth next?
Oh, and you know what’s cool? You can actually trigger these Easter eggs all by yourself. Show off to those pals who still reminisce about Nintendo’s golden games era. Or maybe it’s just me who does that. Anyway, here’s how you do it:
Uh, wait—so there’s this original sound Easter egg thing. And then there’s something they call the “Squeaky” sound. No idea who names these things. But the real kicker? Hard mode: drum sound Easter egg. I don’t even know how to begin to explain it. Imagine the sound of… drumming in a silent room—except it’s not silent anymore.
Okay, I’m sort of drifting here, but the point is, Nintendo’s still got a soft spot for right now and way back when, all together in this beautiful, unholy mix. The Switch 2 is, like, the love child of nostalgic glory and future fun. Or I might just be overly sentimental. Whatever it is, I can’t help but love it.
