Someone unlocked Switch’s hidden NES Golf game

Over the weekend, the Switchbrew Nintendo Switch homebrew claim they found a copy of NES Golf hidden inside the system software for the hybrid home/handheld console, and now someone else says they have unlocked it.

In a tweet, Pixelpar — who regularly posts about gaming news and tidbits on Twitter and Reddit — shows a video of a Switch running Nintendo’s 8-bit golf game for the NES. This is something Nintendo has never talked about or confirmed, but it isn’t out of the realm of possibility considering other people have discovered a functional NES emulator baked into the Switch. That emulator is apparently ready to run NES Golf, and Nintendo has even allegedly updated that classic with motion controls. Lot of gamers already play NES classics like this on PC using widely available Nintendo Entertainment System emulators, but Nintendo could potentially try to set its genuine copies apart from free, pirated ROMs by adding extra features. So motion controls in the original NES Golf is possibly just the beginning.
