Remember that Super Mario Sunshine nugget we posted yesterday? Well, here’s another hidden Nintendo secret for you.

Take a listen to the GameCube’s menu music:

Nothing seems to be too exciting about that, right? Well, let’s speed up the music by about twenty-five times…

Believe it or not, that music is actually the same song found on the Famicom disc system BIOS startup screen. Pretty neat, don’t you think?

This is a neat little nugget from Super Mario Sunshine. In the Sirena Beach, a portion of the level may remind you of something…

If you’re still not sure what exactly you’re looking at, perhaps this will help. It’s the same image, but it has been flipped and reversed…

Yup, that’s right. That area in Sirena Beach is actually a GameCube controller! You can clearly see all of the buttons from the controller are there, as well as what would be the d-pad and analog sticks. I never realized that while playing. What about you guys?

The following information comes from the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s latest financial results…

“…In fact there have already been discussions for a possibility of a 3D video game for a long time. To tell you the truth, GameCube is secretly designed to load graphical circuits which display graphics for right and left eyes respectively, for a future possibility of realizing 3D gaming experience. So actually we have had interest on this technology, but I have some doubt about everyone needing glasses to play.”

This news makes you wonder if the Wii has the same functionality as the GameCube in terms of providing 3D experiences. However, as we know, Nintendo isn’t too big on 3D gaming at the moment.

The last decade saw a number of changes, not just for Nintendo, but for the gaming industry as a whole. As systems became more powerful we were introduced to new games, as well as new ways to play games. We were forced to say goodbye to some of our favorite developers and series, but we still discovered new ones, and even some old ones that had been forgotten over time. As time progressed from the year 2000 to 2009, gaming also progressed, changing from a fairly niche pastime to a culture that gained some degree of mainstream recognition. These are the 10 games for Nintendo systems that I feel best represent gaming over the last 10 years.
