Yesterday I was messing around with the Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube app with videos and quickly discovered that this app has some pretty cool Easter eggs.
GameCube is my one Nintendo blind spot (I didn’t pick it up until it was $99 in Australia), so I never thought there would be so many Easter eggs.
When you launch the GameCube app, you will be greeted with just a stock standard red background using the GameCube controller, but you can actually play the GameCube intro (as it was announced)
All you have to do is press the button to play the iconic intro (hold the analog stick most easily) and activate the toy/laugh version that holds the R button. If you have four controllers connected, you can hold all four controllers in the Samurai Sound Effect.

At the time of release, there will be three GameCube games in the Nintendo Switch Online app, but we know there will be more heaps along the way.
