Wii Preserves GC Menu Music

Anybody else ever load up the GC menu just to let its beautiful ambient sounds fill your house? If not, give it a try — close your eyes and it’s like being inside Electroplankton. As you can see, I’m quite the fan, and as such I’m elated that Nintendo opted to keep the sounds in for Wii’s menus. This may not be ‘news’, but it sure is neat. Hear the sounds for yourself in the videos below

Note: As some have commented, the Wii menu music seems to be a bit different from its GC predecessor, but it’s in the same basic vein.
