What are some of the best mini-games youve played? (games inside games) (lemm.ee)

I recently played Alien Isolation, and I noticed all of the “hacking” she does on doors and computers are different types of games, like press the button at the right time, or match the images within a timer, etc.

A lot of games have these mini-games, and I was wondering which you think are the best? Or at least, didn’t get old fast?

Animal Crossing on the GameCube straight up let you buy little NES consoles with a small variety of titles.

Does it actually let you buy them? I thought they were mostly locked away behind special event codes, or even dummied out.

Really basic ones can be dug up or purchased. You did have to get event codes for some cooler ones.

TIL, thanks!

I also loved that they added some minigames from Amiibo Festival into New Leaf on the 3DS: Puzzle League and Desert Island Escape
