Did you know a completely awful 99p shovelware game was single-handedly responsible for bringing down Nintendo's digital fortress? Today, we are looking at the completely ordinary games that accidentally became the ultimate skeleton keys for console piracy.
From bargain-bin puzzle games like Cubic Ninja and Lumines, to massive AAA blockbusters like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, hackers didn't always need modchips to break a system wide open.
