This was discovered by Gino of The Hub World YouTube channel, where they just received the N64 Switch Controller in the mail, and decided to test it out by using it on the Nintendo Switch Online N64 application. Upon moving around the menu in the application, they noticed that the normal sounds that would be made when scrolling through the menu are replaced with the cries ofthe baby penguin fromSuper Mario 64.
For those unaware, Nintendo also released NES and SNES Switch controllers that could be used with the online service application. If a player uses the SNES controller on the SNESNintendo Switch OnlineApplication, this causes the sound effects to be changed to sound effects fromSuper Mario World. The same thing happens if a player uses the NES Controller on the NES Online App.
While the video only showcased the sound effects when scrolling through the games menu, there are more sound effects if a player uses the side bar on the left-hand side of the UI, which would be moreSuper Mario 64sound effects. Despite the rough launch of this service, there’s still some charm here that show there’s something to enjoy. Hopefully it’s only a matter of time until theNintendo Switch Onlineservice is at a state where fans can be satisfied.
