Wii Menu Log-on Animation For Nintendo Switch Games?

A Nintendo fan known as Pineapple Puppy has created Wii menu start-up animations for popular Switch games, evoking nostalgia for the Wii era and highlighting the absence of similar features on the Nintendo Switch. These fan-made animations include games like Super Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Splatoon 2, mimicking the Wii's iconic home menu with its recognizable sounds and distinct start-up animations accompanied by music.

Although these animations are not official Nintendo implementations, they demonstrate how Switch games might have appeared on the Wii, featuring details like Start and Wii Menu icons, arrow positions, and musical selections during selection—elements that were present on the Wii's home menu. The reception to these fan-created animations has sparked discussions about potential improvements to the Switch's user interface and speculation about possible features in a future "Switch 2" console.
