From the Switch's famous 'click' to the GameCube's iconic, erm... you know the little tune we're talking about, Nintendo's systems have boasted plenty of great start-up sounds over the years. Want to know how to make them sound even better, though? Acapella.
MayTree, a popular acapella group from Korea, has shared a video of themselves performing a number of classic Nintendo console sounds. Systems like the N64, the Game Boy Advance and even the Satellaview are featured, and the whole thing's simply fantastic.
We've seen a fair few comments enjoying the lady on the left's interpretation of the Wii, although we're particularly fond of the entire group's rendition of the Wii U menu which is just sublime. Take a look:
Do you have a favourite? We'd love to hear it (preferably in acapella form) in the comments below.

It's great to know people are putting their precious time here on Earth to such good use.
I found this video myself about a week ago, should be noted that the Super Famicom/SNES one is just the fanfare at the end of bonus games in Super Mario World.
If only YouTube allows you to slow the video down way less than 0.25, you can hear the Gamecube Menu music on the Famicom part.
I adore their rendition of the Switch's first boot up sound
That WiiU one 👌👌👌👌👌
This was pretty cool. They're obviously very well-practiced, and this is a fun thing to do.
I noticed they used a picture of an NES for the FDS sound, even though the NES itself never made that sound.
Also I'm not sure what the N64 one is from. Is it the N64 DD? The thing that has like nine games total made for it?
I've watched this about 50 times. When the woman on the left does the Wii...
This Youtube channel has took the internet by storm, even Nintendo Life couldn't resist covering them!
They look like some professional people doing there best to advertise their skills online. I am sure after this the phone will be ringing off the hook!
Seen this loads of times, man its old
The Nes one the famicom Disk system I beleve
N64 must be the 64dd.
@Sam_TSM N64’s is the Japan-only DD add-on. NES’ is the Japan-only Famicom Disk System add-on. The Switch’s is apparently the sound it makes upon its first ever boot-up.
@Miyamotosan I watched it twice, was enough for me 🤣
I had trouble telling the Switch apart, and then I remembered the sound is for the first boot-up only.
Sorry but that was kind of annoying lol.. only thing I recognized was the Switch snap of the fingers and kind of the Gameboy Advance
They’ll be struck by a takedown notice soon 🙄
@Sam_TSM the n64 one is for the 64dd (only in japan), the switch one is the startup for when you first turn the switch on (only first time) and the nes one is the famicom disc system, also only in japan
Pretty cool, though there's really only so much the human voice can do for Nintendo's older very very electronic sounds. Best of the bunch was definitely the SMW bonus theme.
I don't even remember Switch having a first time boot up sound. Cool, but kind of sad that winter 2017 was the only time I heard it.
Unpopular life opinion: I hate a capella covers
😍That 👅tongue action with the woman holding the Tablet when she does the Wii start-up sound.
These guys are really good. ^^
I'm enjoying the lady on the left generally.
Their Donkey Kong one is pretty great. The lady on the right brought her A game on this one!
