'''NES Games''' are in-game games that appear in {{DnM}}, {{DnM+}}, {{PG}}, and {{DnMe+}}. They are games that appeared on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and can be played just as if they were the original. Some can be won at Tom Nook's [[lottery]], while others are obtained as promotional items from a special memory card in certain ''Animal Crossing'' gamer. E-reader cards also have a few games available for ''Animal Crossing''.

{{Nihongo|'''NES'''|ファミコン|Famicom}} games are furniture items that appear in {{DnM}}, {{DnM+}}, {{PG}}, and {{DnMe+}}, that contain emulated [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] or [[wikipedia:Family Computer Disk System|Family Computer Disk System]] (Famicom) games. There are 19 games in total, though the specific games and their availability differ between ''Animal Crossing'' series games. In the [[Nintendo GameCube]] games, the emulations can be temporarily transferred to a [[Game Boy Advance]] for portable play until the system is powered off. Progress can transferred back to the Nintendo GameCube and saved, though some games disallow saving at all.

NES games are notably absent from later {{SER}} games. Certain NES games were re-released in the ''Classic NES Series'' for the Game Boy Advance. All NES games except for ''Clu Clu Land D'' and ''Golf'' are also available for purchase on the [[Wii]] Virtual Console for 500 points.

In ''Doubutsu no Mori'' and ''Doubutsu no Mori+'', the items themselves are styled after the Famicom console. ''Doubutsu no Mori'' only features seven games; ''[[Balloon Fight]]'', ''[[Clu Clu Land]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. Math]]'', ''[[Golf]]'', ''[[Pinball]]'' and ''[[Tennis]]''. All items are simply named "Famicom", and can only be distinguished by the colors of the cartridges inserted into the system.

*''[[Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', along with ''Ice Climber'' and ''Super Mario Bros'', can be obtained through sending [[secret codes]] to [[villager]]s. The codes required are based upon the player's character name and town name, and are specific to their game.

''Animal Crossing'' features all of the same games, except for ''Gomoku Narabe'' and ''Mahjong'', which are replaced with ''[[Soccer]]'' and ''[[Excitebike]]'' respectively. The methods for obtaining some of the games have changed drastically. Eight of the NES games are uncommon items, and can obtained through various means such as [[Tom Nook]]'s monthly [[lottery]], [[Crazy Redd]], or found during villager treasure hunts. ''Wario's Woods'' and ''Baseball'' can only be obtained from [[Animal Island]]. A further five NES games could only be received by using secret codes generated on the game's official website, which has since been taken offline. Universal secret codes also exist for all of these games.

There is also a fake NES game, obtainable from [[Tortimer]] on [[April Fool's Day]].
+
''Mario Bros.'' and ''Ice Climber'' are only obtained from their corresponding ''[[Animal Crossing-e]]'' [[e-Reader]] cards. As the e-Reader was not released in Europe, PAL-EU versions of ''Animal Crossing'' cannot obtain these games. ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''The Legend of Zelda'' are not legitimately obtainable by any means. These four games are specifically excluded from the secret code subsystem, and thus cannot be obtained even through this method.
# [[Super Tortimer]]
 
  
== Background ==
+
On [[April Fools Day]], [[Tortimer]] will give the player a unique NES game called ''Super Tortimer''. Interacting with the item reveals that it is actually a prank, and no playable game exists.
The original Japanese release of {{DnM+}} 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 {{PG}} and {{DnMe+}}. 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 {{DnM+}} and {{DnMe+}}. 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.
+
''Doubutsu no Mori e+'' features the same NES games as ''Animal Crossing'', complete with the western design of the consoles. However ''Mario Bros.'', ''Ice Climber'', ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''The Legend of Zelda'' do not even exist as items, and therefore cannot be obtained by any means whatsoever.
  
''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 a feature that allows a player to temporarily download NES game data to Game Boy Advance using a [[Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable]]. The display will be stretched by 17% on the Game Boy Advance screen, and multiplayer modes are not available. Advance Play is not available for games that were originally produced for the [[Famicom Disk System]] (''Clu Clu Land D'' and ''The Legend of Zelda'') or games larger than 192 KiB (''Punch-Out!!'' and ''Wario's Woods'') as they are too large to be stored in the Game Boy Advance's RAM. Data can be transferred back to the Nintendo GameCube in order to save progress.

== List of NES games ==
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 {{DnM+}} 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 {{WW}}. All NES games except for ''Clu Clu Land D'' and Golf are downloadable via the [[Wii|Wii's]] Virtual Console for 500 points. This is most likely why unlocking NES games was removed from {{CF}}.

Revision as of 16:25, August 18, 2016

File:NES collection.jpg
All of the NES games in a room, along with Super Tortimer.

NES (ファミコン Famicom?) games are furniture items that appear in Doubutsu no Mori, Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+, that contain emulated Nintendo Entertainment System or Family Computer Disk System (Famicom) games. There are 19 games in total, though the specific games and their availability differ between Animal Crossing series games. In the Nintendo GameCube games, the emulations can be temporarily transferred to a Game Boy Advance for portable play until the system is powered off. Progress can transferred back to the Nintendo GameCube and saved, though some games disallow saving at all.

NES games are notably absent from later Animal Crossing series games. Certain NES games were re-released in the Classic NES Series for the Game Boy Advance. All NES games except for Clu Clu Land D and Golf are also available for purchase on the Wii Virtual Console for 500 points.

In Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+

In Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+, the items themselves are styled after the Famicom console. Doubutsu no Mori only features seven games; Balloon Fight, Clu Clu Land, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, Golf, Pinball and Tennis. All items are simply named "Famicom", and can only be distinguished by the colors of the cartridges inserted into the system. A non-functional Famicom item is also available, and is exclusive to both games.

Doubutsu no Mori+ introduces many more Famicom games.

The Famicom games from the first game can only be obtained in Doubutsu no Mori+ through different means. Jingle will send the player Balloon Fight on Toy Day, and Donkey Kong can be received on the player's birthday. Both games can also be received from the Islander, along with Donkey Kong Jr. Math and Tennis. The remaining games could only be obtained through transferring save data from the Nintendo 64 game to the Nintendo GameCube release, or through the use of secret codes.

In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+

Animal Crossing features all of the same games, except for Gomoku Narabe and Mahjong, which are replaced with Soccer and Excitebike respectively. The methods for obtaining some of the games have changed drastically. Eight of the NES games are uncommon items, and can obtained through various means such as Tom Nook's monthly lottery, Crazy Redd, or found during villager treasure hunts. Wario's Woods and Baseball can only be obtained from Animal Island. A further five NES games could only be received by using secret codes generated on the game's official website, which has since been taken offline. Universal secret codes also exist for all of these games.

Mario Bros. and Ice Climber are only obtained from their corresponding Animal Crossing-e e-Reader cards. As the e-Reader was not released in Europe, PAL-EU versions of Animal Crossing cannot obtain these games. Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda are not legitimately obtainable by any means. These four games are specifically excluded from the secret code subsystem, and thus cannot be obtained even through this method.

On April Fools Day, Tortimer will give the player a unique NES game called Super Tortimer. Interacting with the item reveals that it is actually a prank, and no playable game exists.

Doubutsu no Mori e+ features the same NES games as Animal Crossing, complete with the western design of the consoles. However Mario Bros., Ice Climber, Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda do not even exist as items, and therefore cannot be obtained by any means whatsoever.

Advance Play

Advance Play is a feature that allows a player to temporarily download NES game data to Game Boy Advance using a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable. The display will be stretched by 17% on the Game Boy Advance screen, and multiplayer modes are not available. Advance Play is not available for games that were originally produced for the Famicom Disk System (Clu Clu Land D and The Legend of Zelda) or games larger than 192 KiB (Punch-Out!! and Wario's Woods) as they are too large to be stored in the Game Boy Advance's RAM. Data can be transferred back to the Nintendo GameCube in order to save progress.
