NES Classic Edition (Nintendo Mini) with over 700 games now possible with new mod [VIDEO]

Just over three weeks ago, a NES Classic Edition with 84 games was spotted. Most people thought that the number was already high for a hacked console. Now, a Nintendo Mini with over 700 games is possible, thanks to a new mod.

A YouTuber with the username TootyUk shows off his NES Classic Edition that has more than 700 games in a video he published over the weekend. In the video, he details how the Nintendo Mini can be hacked and boosted up using Hakchi 2.11. The video is over 21 minutes long, but cramming as many as 700 games into a console with 300MB of storage capacity should understandably take a little time.

Hacking the Nintendo console voids all warranties but it seems that it is too small a price to pay if a user successfully installs that many games into the system. So far, the hack appears to work seamlessly for most users. Some titles like “Battletoads,” though, need some more fine-tuning before they are played without errors.

Hacking the Nintendo Mini has now become a norm due to its inability to offer extra games. The in demand remake of the popular Nintendo Entertainment System only has a total of 30 pre-installed games and for some, it is just not enough. It was only a matter of time before active hackers succeeded in breaking into the NES Classic Edition, which is why Nintendo went along with the inevitable and prepared a message for them within the console itself.

“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! Cheers, the hanafuda captain.”

Hanafuda are Japanese playing cards that are used to play a variety of games. The word “hanafuda” actually means “flower cards.” Before becoming the distinguished gaming giant that it is now, Nintendo started out selling hanafuda playing cards back in September 1889.

Nintendo still continues to produce hanafuda cards in Japan, but only does so in recognition of its rich history and not for revenue. Back in 2006, Nintendo issued “Clubhouse Games” (also known in Japan as “Daredemo Asobi Taizen” and as “42 All-Time Classics” in some parts of Europe) for the Nintendo DS handheld device. Also included in it was Koi-Koi, the Hawaiian version of hanafuda.
