Users on Reddit have discovered a secret message hidden within the Famicom Mini’s emulator code.
“This is the hanafuda captain speaking. Launching emulation in 3..2..1. Many efforts, tears and countless hours have been put into this jewel. So, please keep this place tidied up and don’t break everything,” it reads.
Nintendo first started business as a hanafuda — or playing card — company.
The western version of the Famicom Mini, the NES Classic Mini, is now back in stock here in Australia.
