Angry Birds Legacy

Angry Birds Legacy was a free Nintendo 3DS title available for a few hours on 18 June 2011. The game was a digital download available on the 3DS Eshop. However, it was quickly removed from the shop once glaring issues were found in the game. The game can still be obtained via an exploit.

History
Angry Birds Legacy was intended to be a 3DS port of the original Angry Birds game. It was quietly added to the Eshop with no prior announcement on Rovio or Nintendo's part. A number of 3DS players found the game by chance on the Eshop and downloaded it, only to discover that the game was not what it seemed.

When Nintendo realized that the game wasn't working properly, it was pulled from the Eshop. Any 3DS systems connected to the internet had their copy of Angry Birds Legacy wiped from their SD card.

Gameplay
Gameplay resembles that of the Angry Birds game for touchscreen mobile devices. The bottom screen of the 3DS is the only screen used in the game; the top screen only displays static images of the birds. It is a stylus-only game.

There is also a level editor included in the game.

Reception
Players were surprised to see that Angry Birds Legacy only took up a few megabytes of storage on their 3DS. This may be due to the game being incomplete. Only the first few levels of the game are playable. Once the player tries to access any level after the fifth one, the game locks up and the 3DS must be restarted.

The levels that are typically unable to be accessed can be opened in the level editor. These levels contain unused birds with new abilities, such as a bird that temporarily inverts gravity. These abilities crash the game.

Notoriously, the game also contained new "soundtracks" that played on later levels. These soundtracks contained frequencies that are too high for humans to hear, but players' dogs reportedly reacted to the sound and started howling.

Aftermath
There is still a way to download Angry Birds Legacy. By following these steps, 3DS players can obtain the original version of Angry Birds Legacy that was released on that day. However, if the 3DS is connected to the internet, the game will be deleted off their device within a few minutes. Angry Birds Trilogy is considered to be the successor to Angry Birds Legacy. Neither Nintendo nor Rovio have confirmed this.
