Nintendo Entertainment System

The Nintendo Entertainment System, also known as the Famicom (short for Family Computer) in Japan, was released in 1985 to rave reviews.

Although no games were released for the NES, some NES games found their way onto the GameCube  seventeen years later. Most are accessible through regular gameplay and Game Boy Advance connectivity, such as Animal Island or Animal Crossing E-Cards, while a few (Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda) currently require cheating devices such as GameShark and Action Replay to obtain.
