I’m unsure where he found it, but reader Offal stumbled upon what appears to be a Chinese bootleg of a Nintendo 3DS emulator. Either that, or it’s a virtual 3DS sent back in time by SkyNet Nintendo to assassinate the PSP2.

Offal points out it’s a poor facsimile of the advanced device: the top screen displays only six colors in 2D (the bottom shows four shades of gray), and the analog pad, touch screen, cameras, and microphone are inoperable.

It does play a single game, but it’s nothing we’ve heard announced from either Japanese or Western developers. The emulator’s existence was strange enough, but what we found really unsettling is that the (possibly haunted) game features our own Tiny! More info/download link below!:

Unlike the mythical and super creepy Pokemon hack, this game, Tiny Labyrinth, is very real. You can download it yourself and play the PC game here (sorry, Mac users). It’s a tiny emulator, so you’ll need to zoom in to see it.

Playing the game is simple: navigate Tiny through a dangerous maze until you reach the exit to the next level. The bottom screen maps the stage as you explore different areas, even revealing where enemies are. It can be a fun two-player experience if you have a friend watching the bottom screen and telling you where to go.

Tiny Labyrinth features four levels, and even includes a custom editor that you can use to create/share stages. It also has an awesome soundtrack composed by Droqen.

For bringing Tiny Labyrinth and this unusual bootleg 3DS emulator to our attention, Offal will receive a Reformat the Planet DVD set, a Bit Boy t-Shirt, a Pixel Pulse poster, a Chipbender pin set, an import copy of Love Plus, a miniature Fire Emblem DS box, a Tiny pin, and a Dragon Quest trading figure – what a haul!
