A devoted fan has turned Nintendo 3DS system sounds into a vinyl release, assembling familiar system jingles and app themes into a physical collection. Released under the Huappy Spins name, The Sounds of the Nintendo 3DS gathers everything from the Home Menu chime and Mii Maker melodies to rarer cues like the Activity Log Software Library and the now-defunct Miiverse music. Nintendo Life first flagged the pressing this week.

  • Creator: The pressing comes from Huappy Spins, a fan-operated project focused on archiving and celebrating Nintendo audio beyond official soundtracks.
  • Track highlights: The compilation features short but iconic system pieces — Home Menu, Mii Maker, and nostalgic Miiverse tunes — alongside obscure cues such as the Activity Log Software Library.
  • Why it matters: While Nintendo has occasionally issued vinyl (an extensive Breath of the Wild box set is planned), fan projects like this one fill gaps by preserving smaller, system-level music that wouldn’t usually see a commercial pressing.
  • Audience: This sort of release appeals to collectors and longtime Nintendo fans who enjoy revisiting the little jingles that shaped daily handheld use and evoke platform nostalgia.
  • Discovery: Nintendo Life spotted the record and highlighted how fan pressing projects are helping expand the availability of Nintendo’s audio heritage.
