Not long ago, a **Nintendo Switch** owner named *Setery* told a gaming forum about how **NES Golf** randomly appeared on her Switch's games list randomly one day. Commenters in the forum began to accuse her of telling everything but the truth, because, surely it must be a mod. Since this announcement, Hackers have been hard at work, trying to unearth what they believe may be a secret game hidden on the console, meant to be a tribute to the late *Nintendo CEO* **Satoru Iwata**.  <hr> This summer hackers discovered a hidden NES emulator on the Nintendo Switch with the title *"Flog."* *Plutoo*, one of the Switch hackers had this to say about the find: “We thought they had included it during manufacturing by mistake, but when we [dug] deeper, we found there was some suspicious code in the ‘Home Menu.” Last weekend (September), Plutoo decided to look into this mystery a bit more. Since doing so, he claims to have discovered two interesting finds on the Nintendo Switch: “The code looked for the date July 11th, and the code right before seemed to enable the ‘Joycon sixaxis’ motion sensors.” To Pluuto, the code read that a Joy-Con-enabled “secret handshake,” which he believes will unlock a hidden treasure on the consoles home screen come July 11th. <hr> Satoru Iwata is seen has the Father of Nintendo and his Face is probably one of the most recognizable icons from Nintendo Direct press conferences over the past few years. On July 11, 2015 Satoru Iwata ended his battle cancer, sending waves of emotions throughout the gaming community for months to come. It seemed every instagram feed from a gaming organization had some mention of his great legacy. This summer hackers discovered a hidden NES emulator on the Nintendo Switch with the title "Flog." Plutoo, one of the Switch hackers had this to say about the find: “We thought they had included it during manufacturing by mistake,” Plutoo, one of the Switch hackers who coordinated similar stunts over a private IRC, told me over Twitter direct messages. “But when we [dug] deeper, we found there was some suspicious code in the ‘Home Menu.’” Last weekend, bored, Plutoo decided to look into it. He says he discovered two intriguing details: “The code looked for the date July 11th, and the code right before seemed to enable the ‘Joycon sixaxis’ motion sensors.” Apparently, the code was telling Pluuto that a Joy-Con-enabled “secret handshake,”  It should also be noted in the evidence that "flog" is golf spelled backwards. Also, In the 1980's Saturo Iwata was a programmer working on the Nintendo game Golf. Only time will tell if this game is actually hidden on Nintendo Switch consoles. <hr>
