Easter Eggs: A selection of Nintendo's hidden secrets

shuandrew | March 23, 2008 | News | Nintendo 64 Wii 
What better way to celebrate Easter than to highlight some of the videogame world's version of the term - hidden secrets within software. Nintendic has compiled a list of some of its favourites from the world of Nintendo over the years.
Easter eggs aren’t just chocolaty goodies that a man-sized bunny rabbit delivers one a year, but also the name given to an intentional hidden message or treat included in all sorts of media, including CDs, DVDs and videogames. Nintendo has included a number of Easter eggs in its creations throughout the years - some useful, others utterly pointless, but all tiny glimpses into the souls of the individual programmers from one of the industry’s biggest companies. Nintendic has compiled a list detailing some of the most famous examples of these in-game secrets.

    Wow! I never knew about the one where you have to "hold the Z button down during Gamecube startup". I just tried that now and it works, haha.

    That's crazy.

    I only knew of the Ocarina of Time one to be honest.

    That Gamecube one is interesting. I wish I could test that out on my friends.

    That was a smaller list than I thought.

    I heard about three of them, though.
