6 Best Games Within Games Because Developers Heard You Like Games so They Put Games in Your Game

NES Classics (Animal Crossing)

Animal Crossing is all about recreating a social experience, allowing players to do various activities like fishing, farming, and bug catching to pass the day. As such, it isn’t entirely surprising that video games are also among the social activities the game provides its characters.

It wasn’t simply enough to create small mini-games in Animal Crossing, though, as the title added a full roster of fully playable NES titles to be unlocked in-game.

From Donkey Kong to Excitebike and Golf, almost every title included was worth the price of admission itself. Even Donkey Kong Jr. Math wasn’t a terrible inclusion, as you could at least show your parents that video games could be a learning tool.
