...as long as you don't mind cheating.  Also: Freeloader almost done, to be sold in North America as well as Europe.

Today Datel, makers of InterAct's popular GameShark devices and the upcoming Action Replay cheating devices for GameCube and Game Boy Advance, confirmed to PGC that they are in the final stages of production for both the GameCube Action Replay and the long-awaited Freeloader import disc.

The Freeloader is a GameCube boot disc that allows you to play games from any region on any GameCube.  (For NTSC-to-PAL conversions, you may need a special TV or converter.)  Announced months ago, the Freeloader has been delayed time and time again, and many thought it would never see the light of day.  Now Datel says not only should the Freeloader be in stores by the end of the year, but it will now be released in North America as well as Europe.

As for the new NES games in Animal Crossing, as you may have guessed by now, unlocking them early requires the GameCube Action Replay.  This information could be considered a SPOILER, so scroll down if you really want to know which games are left on the disc.












It's been known that both Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda are both hidden on the Japanese version of Animal Crossing.  We can now confirm that both are included in the North American version as well.  There's no telling when Nintendo will announce the in-game codes to unlock these treasured classics, but you can get them much earlier with the Action Replay.  Datel has already discovered an Action Replay code to unlock Zelda, and they are currently working on one to unlock Mario as well.  Remember that once these games are unlocked, you can also download them to your GBA for portable play.
