We all bear in mind the start-up animations from the Wii residence menu, proper? You’d choose a sport, see the icon fill the display after which watch a brief animation (accompanied by music, after all) whilst you selected whether or not to begin the title or head again to the house web page. We miss them.
For many people, these menu animations are deeply ingrained in our heads for the likes of Smash Bros. Brawl, Skyward Sword and Super Mario Galaxy, however what would issues be like if among the Switch’s best titles bought the identical therapy? That is the very query that YouTube channel Pineapple Puppy has tried to reply, as they constructed Wii-style menu animations for an entire bunch of Switch video games and now we’re feeling all types of nostalgic.
The titles span the whole Switch catalogue, with the animator making good quick intros for the likes of Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and plenty of extra. You can discover the complete video beneath.
Of course, with so many Switch video games introduced over from older methods, there was sure to be a sure stage of crossover (the Breath of the Wild one is near-identical to the sport’s load display as discovered on the Wii U), however many of those are fully unique creations and instantly seize the vibe of the Switch sport with all the nostalgia of the Wii’s menu model.
Turning again to the Switch goes to really feel somewhat quieter now, however let’s hope that the console’s successor carries somewhat extra persona on its residence menu — or at the least provides us some higher theme choices…
