'''NES games''' ('''Famicom games''' in {{DnM|nolink}} and {{DnM+|nolink}}) are [[furniture]] items in the [[First generation|first-generation ''Animal Crossing'' games]] that can be interacted with to play an emulated [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] or Famicom game. In {{DnM}} and {{DnM+}}, the items appear as either Famicom consoles with the cartridge of its game inserted, or a Famicom with a Famicom Disk System attached; in {{PG}} and {{DnMe+}}, the items appear as an NES console with the box of its game set on top of it. The games available differ between games, as do the methods to obtain them.

In addition to the playable NES/Famicom games, in all first-generation ''Animal Crossing'' games there is an empty {{I|NES|PG}} (Disk System in {{DnM|nolink}} and {{DnM+|nolink}}) item available from [[Crazy Redd's]] that, when interacted with, brings up a dialog that says, "I want to play my NES, but I don't have any software." Additionally, in {{PG|nolink}} and {{DnMe+}}, on [[April Fools' Day|April Fool's Day]], [[Tortimer]] gives the player {{I|Super Tortimer|PG}}, an item that looks like an NES game, but when interacted with, brings up a dialog that says, "Heh heh hehhh hoorf!! April Fool! Super Tortimer isn't an NES game!".

===Save data===

[[File:PG NES Game Saving.png|thumb|right|250px|The game saving NES data to the Memory Card in {{PG|nolink}}]]
In {{DnM+|nolink}}, {{PG|nolink}}, and {{DnMe+|nolink}}, after the player stops playing an NES/Famicom game, the game saves the high score (or saved game progress in the case of ''{{I|Legend of Zelda|PG|The Legend of Zelda}}'') to the [[Nintendo GameCube]] Memory Card, taking up one Block in a separate save file from the town data.

NES/Famicom data cannot be saved if the Memory Card containing the town's data is not inserted into the GameCube.
{{Clear|left}}

===Advance Play===
In {{PG|nolink}} and {{DnMe+|nolink}}, the player can choose the "Advance Play" option when interacting with an NES game to download the game to a [[Game Boy Advance]] that is connected to the Nintendo GameCube. The game can then be played on the GBA until it is turned off, even if it is disconnected from the GameCube. The GBA can be reconnected to the GameCube to save the NES data. When playing on the GBA, the graphics are compressed to fit within the GBA's much lower vertical resolution compared to the NES. Multiplayer modes are not available during Advance Play, and ''{{I|Clu Clu Land D|PG|Clu Clu Land: Welcome to New CluClu Land}}'', ''The Legend of Zelda'', ''{{I|Punchout|PG|Punch-Out!!}}'', and ''{{I|Wario's Woods|PG}}'' cannot be played via Advance Play as they are too large to be stored in the Game Boy Advance's RAM.

When playing a game through Advance Play, pressing {{Input|l|console=GBA}} and {{Input|r|console=GBA}} brings up a menu where the player can either reset the game or put the GBA in sleep mode. When in sleep mode, the GBA can be woken up by pressing {{Input|l|console=GBA}} and {{Input|select|console=GBA}}.

===Unused functionality of the NES item===
In 2018 it was discovered that when the empty {{I|NES|PG}} item is interacted with, the game scans the Memory Card (Controller Pak in {{DnM|nolink}}) for NES/Famicom ROM data. NES/Famicom ROMs, including those not already in the game, can be patched and placed on a Memory Card, where they can be loaded and played by interacting with the item.<ref>{{Cite Twitter|author=jamchamb_|date=June 25, 2018|url=https://twitter.com/jamchamb_/status/1011471338610003968|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210701103916/https://twitter.com/jamchamb_/status/1011471338610003968|archive-date=July 1, 2021|quote=#AnimalCrossing RE update: The generic "NES Console" you can get through a cheat code that normally says "I don't have software" can actually boot ROMs from the memory card.

All seven games from {{DnM|nolink}} return, alongside 12 new games. All of the items now have unique names, and the labels on the cartridges of Clu Clu Land and Pinball are changed. Clu Clu Land's label is changed from the pulse line to a graphic to represent the original ''Clu Clu Land'' cartridge more accurately. Pinball's label is changed from a white pulse line on a yellow background to a yellow pulse line on a gray background, despite the former being more accurate to the actual ''Pinball'' cartridge.

The seven Famicom games from {{DnM|nolink}} now all have different methods to obtain them.

All games from {{DnM+|nolink}} return, with the exceptions of {{I|Gomoku Narabe|DnM+}} and {{I|Mahjong|DnM+}}, which are replaced with Excitebike and Soccer, due to the former two games only releasing in Japan. Additionally, all the items are now modeled after NES consoles rather than Famicoms.

The methods to obtain the NES games are changed again in {{PG|nolink}}.

===In {{DnMe+|nolink}}===
A total of 15 NES games appear in {{DnMe+}}:

===Forbidden Four===
The Forbidden Four is the colloquial name given to the {{I|Ice Climber|PG}}, {{I|Legend of Zelda|PG}}, {{I|Mario Bros|PG}}, and {{I|Super Mario Bros|PG}} items in {{DnM+}} and {{PG}} due to the nature of their availability. All of these games do not appear in the [[catalog]], are specifically excluded from the [[secret code]] system in {{PG|nolink}},{{Note|These are the only items in {{PG|nolink}} to have this restriction.}} and are completely removed in {{DnMe+}}. Of the Forbidden Four, only Legend of Zelda is truly unobtainable in either version through official means. All of the others are or were obtainable in some official form:

===Changes made to the original ROMs===
{{Research Needed|type=section|what changes were made to the ROMs|note=While the list of games that were changed is exhaustive, the lists of what exactly was changed are not.}}
Some of the games have been altered since their original releases:
;''Balloon Fight'' ({{Flag|JPN}})
*In {{DnM|nolink}} and {{DnM+|nolink}}, the title screen options can be navigated using the +Control Pad instead of just the SELECT button. This change is reverted in {{PG|nolink}} and {{DnMe+|nolink}}.

;''Baseball'' ({{Flag|JPN}})
*Unknown

;''Baseball'' ({{Flag|USA}} {{Flag|EUR}})
*The copyright text on the title screen reads <code>COPYRIGHT 1984</code> instead of <code>&nbsp;1984</code>.

;''Clu Clu Land''
*In the original version, the game displays the text "PERFECT 3000!" after every fifth level, but only gives the player 30 bonus points. This is fixed in this version, with the game now giving 3,000 bonus points.<ref name="Clu Clu Land">{{Cite web|url=https://tcrf.net/Clu_Clu_Land_(NES)#3.2C000-Point_Bonus_Bug|title=Clu Clu Land (NES)|site=The Cutting Room Floor|retrieved=December 3, 2022}}</ref>

;''Golf'' ({{Flag|JPN}})
*In {{DnM|nolink}} and {{DnM+|nolink}}, the title screen options can be navigated using the +Control Pad instead of just the SELECT button. This change is reverted in {{PG|nolink}} and {{DnMe+|nolink}}.

This version of ''The Legend of Zelda'' is different from the 2003 GameCube release in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition|The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition]]'', which makes several more changes to the game and has a re-translated script.

Additionally, the GBA ROMs for ''Ice Climber'' (<tt>jb_usa_icecl.bin</tt>), ''Mario Bros.'' (<tt>jb_mario.bin</tt>), and ''Super Mario Bros.''

==Trivia==
* The "Forbidden Four" were originally referred to as the "Forbidden Five" among fans, with {{I|Punchout|PG}} also included among them. Punchout does not have a universal code, and generated codes for the item were not distributed until 2004 (two years after the game's North American launch), so it was believed for a time that hacking was the only way to obtain it, much like the Forbidden Four.<ref>{{Cite web|author=NintendoDad|date=April 30, 2008|url=https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/516502-animal-crossing/42680692|title=GameFAQs Message Boards post|site=GameFAQs}}</ref>
* When the display for ''Doubutsu no Mori+'', ''Animal Crossing'', and ''Doubutsu no Mori e+'' is set to 480i, NES games will play in their original 240p resolution. However, setting the display to 480p (an option only available when using component or D-terminal cables on the GameCube or Wii) results in NES games being upscaled to match.
