Build Display

Oddly not stubbed out in product builds of the game is a hidden display for the product build date. According to the developer documents in an internal developer wiki found in the 2020-09-09 Nintendo leaks, pressing a button combo going by "A, Up (D-Pad), 2, Down (D-Pad), B, 1, 1, B, Left (D-Pad), A and Right (D-Pad)" on a Wii Remote at the square (title screen) will show a display in the bottom right corner in black for the region and product build type (found in the executable) and also print out the data in timeStamp.txt until the scene is exited, there is no sound cue.
