If you’re like me, the story you’re about to read will come back to your mind periodically every now and then. And it’s because it’s one of the greatest mysteries in the history of video games at a very low level of the iceberg. It’s not about Polybius or the secret of Monkey Island, but something much, much smaller: the NES emulator that was inside the first Animal Crossing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Animal Crossing, the emulator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with the fact that the first game of Animal Crossing was released worldwide (except Japan) on GameCube in 2001. Among the many possibilities you had for decorating your house, you had several NES consoles that you could play<\/strong>, with games like Super Mario Bros. or Balloon Fight, among others. But there was one model without a cartridge, in which, when you approached, your character would say ‘I want to play my NES but I don’t have the software<\/em>.‘<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, within Animal Crossing there was an NES emulator that allowed you to play games on that console if you inserted them, in the correct format, on a GameCube memory card. You just needed to know how to do it, download the Rom, modify the file<\/strong>…too complicated, right? Are you sure there isn’t another explanation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
