Background
The original Japanese release of for GameCube lacks Soccer and Excitebike, and instead features the early Famicom versions of Gomoku Narabe and Mahjong. These two famicom games were scrapped in and. The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros. can only be obtained through Action Replay. The other games in the differing versions are exactly the same, totaling exactly 19 games in all GCN versions.

In North America, two NES games were released exclusively through the use of e-reader card. These games are Mario Bros. and Ice Climber. European versions of the game never received e-reader support, so these games can't be obtained without Action Replay. Japan never released these cards, but these games were available in and. For a short time, Nintendo of Japan offered to transfer equivalent save data from the Nintendo 64 to the GameCube, so it can be played legitimately. However, this service has since been discontinued.

Clu Clu Land D, Soccer, Donkey Kong 3, Donkey Kong Jr. and Punch-Out were initially unavailable in-game, however Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe later released codes that could be used in the game to unlock them, but Punch-Out was initially obtained only through Action Replay.

Advance Play
Advance Play is when the player links his or her Game Boy Advance to his or her GameCube to download the NES game to the handheld temporarily. This is not available for games that were originally produced for the Famicom Disk System, such as Clu Clu Land D and The Legend of Zelda. It is also not available for games larger than 192 KiB, such as Punch-Out!! and Wario's Woods, which cannot fit into the GBA's RAM. All other games can be played on Advance Play, but their graphics are stretched by about 17% on the Game Boy's display and are limited to one player.

The only games that cannot be obtained at all through normal means are Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. Interestingly, Super Mario Bros. can be played via Advance Play, and includes a port of the Famicom Disk System version of The Legend of Zelda. This is odd as the English release replaces that with the English NES version of it, even though the game is completely inaccessible. This has led some to believe that these two games either are obtainable through an undiscovered universal code or they were originally intended to be unlocked via e-Reader as well, but e-Reader support has died off before it could happen and there is wanning interest in further hacking the GCN Animal Crossing.

Some NES games were rereleased in the Classic NES Series for GBA. Like Advance Play, the games are slightly stretched but multiplayer is available. This is likely why unlocking NES games was removed from. All NES games except for Clu Clu Land D and Golf are downloadable via the Wii's Virtual Console for 500 points. This is most likely why unlocking NES games was removed from.
