Very interesting tidbit I read in the Youtube comments. I’ve yet to fact check it, but if true, I guess Golf’s inclusion is pretty awesome in honor of Iwata’s life.

Here’s the tidbit:

“Golf was originally hidden in the Switch’s system and you could access it by holding the joy-cons and performing the gesture Satoru Iwata used to make in directs. NES Golf was one of his favorite games, and Nintendo added it in as an easter-egg to honor his life.

Nintendo unfortunately patched this secret out. This was because in Japan, it was tradition to place a recently deceased’s person’s favorite things in a special box that is not allowed to open. The hidden game was essentially a digital version of this ritual, and it’s clear that Nintendo wanted Iwata’s life to be honored in a special way by giving the switch a secret game that only they knew about.”
