People are still clamoring for the restock of NES Classic Edition, especially that now some modifiers managed to hack the video game console to add more titles. However, some of the players who already tried this hack are surprised to see a hidden message, advising its users not to break anything.

A Twitter user named Bakueikozo was playing his NES Classic Edition when he saw the message. "This is the hanafuda captain speaking. Launching emulation in 3...2...1," the note started. It has said that a lot of "efforts, tears and hours" have been put out to successfully create the unit. Hence, it pleads the user to keep it neat and "don't break everything." The letter, then, ended with a goodbye from the Hanafuda captain.

It is believed that the message is from the original coders of NES Classic Edition that it wants to be received by future modifiers. The tweet is originally seen by WCCFTech, thus some question the legality of it from the Twitter user. However, if the note is true, then it might be an Easter egg intentionally left by the gadget's developers. This, too, surprised some for openly accepts being hacked, knowing that tech companies usually dislike being modified.

Meanwhile, according to Business Insider, hanafuda is a kind of Japanese playing card used for different kinds of game. It is a standard playing card that could be used for poker, but with flowers design. It is very common in the said country and Nintendo has been long making it. Since the creator of NES Classic Edition is known as an ancient company that started in the late 1800s, it first began doing hanafuda cards, then toys and later on leads to produce video game consoles and video games.

Hence, the unexpected message the NES Classic Edition player found might be for the classic and hardcore Nintendo fans made by someone hacking the game console. Although they modified the gadget, they still have no intention to break it, thus advising everyone to take care of it.
